It's like if it's declared at the global scope, meaning that it 
doesn't know the context and cant access, if declared in a 
function, the stack frame. Now dependeding on the location, 
static can be a noop.

module foo;

static struct One {} // noop

void bar()
{
     int i;
     static struct Two { void stuff(){ i = 42:} } // error
}

void baz()
{
     int i;
     struct Three { void stuff(){ i = 42:} } // ok
}
