foo has nothing to do with it, as I said, removing it produces 
the same error['p.foo(); // Fails even if this line is removed']. 
I only put in something in the block because some blockhead would 
say something if there was nothing there like "Why are you even 
bothering with a static for each on an empty block? are you that 
stupid that you don't realize the compiler won't emit any code?".
