what's the scope of a static variable inside a local function?

Hm... if you counted on thread termination to clean up a resource, then 
it's definitely a bug.

Static dtors would be the most effective way to clean it up, as the 
mechanism already exists, but they would have to be marked as 
independent. And of course, -betterC couldn't do it, which means RAII 
would be broken when compiled that way.
