I don't currently see motivation for this? The intent is to apply the `__attribute__((__used__))` semantic to static variables (since the front-end is likely to discard them). Additional reasons for using `__attribute__((__used__))` applies: The compiler cannot optimize with the assumption that it sees all direct accesses to the variable.
