Alas, that only replace one form of ODR violation
with more subtle one.

static const char* count  = "count";

void foo(const char*);
inline void bar() {
    // ODR violation here.  count refers to
    // different objects in different translation
    // units.  (See section 3.2/5 of the standard.)
    foo(count);
}
