You are right, using "static" would be confusing I guess. I'm 
just against starting to use __keywords reserved to the compiler 
that maybe shouldn't be. I know we already have __gshared, 
though. Just what is the criteria to prepend the double 
underscore to a keyword? Why now just use an @attribute instead? 
@gshared and @ctlocal would fit better in the D style, IMO.
