[boost] [smart_cast] template functions declared static?

The header boost/smart_cast.hpp declares the template functions
smart_cast and smart_cast_reference as static.  The SunPRO compiler
issues a warning for this:

"/home/nbde52d/src/boost_1_32_0/boost/smart_cast.hpp", line 264:
Warning (Anachronism): "static" is not allowed and is being ignored.
"/home/nbde52d/src/boost_1_32_0/boost/smart_cast.hpp", line 292:
Warning (Anachronism): "static" is not allowed and is being ignored.

Does "static" make any sense here?
