I only oppose changing the meaning of "static". I do not have any strong 
feelings about being able to mark symbols for internal linkage, but I do 
not see why it is necessary. Can't a compiler just mark all symbols for 
internal linkage that can be marked such given the constraints you would 
impose on @internal marked symbols?
