static functions?

[Andy Valencia]

Leveraging my knowledge of C, I assumed a "static" function would 
be hidden outside of its own source file.  I can't find any 
statement about the semantics of a static function in the 
documentation, and in practice (ldc2 on Linux) it doesn't hide 
the function?


file tst.d:

import std.stdio : writeln;
import tst1;

void
main()
{
     writeln(do_op());
     writeln(do_op());
}


and file tst1.d:

static int
do_op()
{
     static int x;

     x += 1;
     return(x);
}
