To use them correctly, is it the case that you need to do one of the following? - null them at some point, or - call ClearOnShutdown() on them at some point. The comments in StaticPtr.h don't make this clear. And ClearOnShutdown.h is a separate file, and ClearOnShutdown() isn't mentioned in StaticPtr.h. So I think they're useful -- being able to avoid static constructors is important. But the documentation on how to use them could be much clearer.
