Yep. A static function could be optimised out… inlined. However, if the address
of the function is taken, the function should remain as a stand-alone callable
function. Adding `static` shouldn't remove the function, it just ensures the
function name isn't visible to other .obj files.
I'm not 100% sure, yet I think it should work correctly even when
`GetAwtModuleHandle` is declared `static`.
