I would say that static is the only storage class. By default data is
thread local and not shared.

enum is not a storage class because nothing is stored here (I mean in
memory at run time).

extern is not a storage class. Because it just says that the symbol
needs to be resolved at link-time.

lazy says something about time of evaluation not how a variable's memory
is stored.

out is about parameter passing. Same for ref. So I think ref is not a
storage class. If it was I would expect ref a = 10 to be valid code.

Don't know about scope. I never used it. Is it going to be deprecated,
isn't is?
