My view is that we should not say anything, that it will just be
confusing to the user. There is no user facing concept of a "static"
or "global" block in GDB other than the Python API anyway. We have to
keep API compatibility, so if the implementation were to change
in GDB, we would have to just manage that change in the Python
bindings (like we currently do now). There are many abstract
concepts, that can be subject to change already (things like Program
Spaces).
Cheers,
Phil
