Out of curiosity, would a static member function with a static variable
solve that kind of issue ? (Let's forget potential threading issues
mentioned in the Singularity discussion).

If yes, by what magic can the compiler (or the linker?) solve the unicity of
the static member function ? Can't it (the magic ;) be applied to a static
member ?

Thanks for your insight,
