[Laszlo-dev] porting to legals: is static a new keyword?

[P T Withington]

Indeed.  `static` is a reserved word (even in JS1, although we did  
not complain about it).  Seems like a crappy language design to  
reserve a keyword that can only appear in a few places and make it  
totally illegal, but that is what the standard says.  Sorry.
