clarify what static means #9962

Description

@thestinger

Are these compile-time constants? If they are, we need to drop support for foreign constants. If they aren't, this code is going to need a rewrite because it makes the assumption that any static is a known constant.

See #9866 and #9909 for some of the issues caused by this being unspecified and not handled correctly.

    Is there anything to do here beyond significant addresses (#8958)?

    Nominating for closing. This doesn't appear actionable.

    Closing as nonactionable beyond #8958.
