I did better than that: <keep> is rre-used for this. Saves two
precious bits in an already somewhat cramped 64-bit flag int too. :-)

Otherwise, see previous email: differences with your approach here are
rather minimal. Though one thing is for sure (and it's listed in the
current public GerH release already listed as such): I consider
'static' behaviour a BUG, not a feature.
Having globals in there and throughout is enough of a mess, not to
want to add to that.

Unless I am invited to the first IOCCC (International Obfuscated
CRM114 [Script] Coding Content) symposium. ;-)

Done that already. Several weeks worth' of it.
No footprint increase, at least none that is noticable.
