The static keyword has no effect on module functions, so 2 and 3 are

This problem is caused by DMD sloppyness regarding its management of
attributes. A serious language doesn't accept a keyword like "static"
where it has no meaning.
What is a 'serious language'?
interface I{ static int x=2; } // java
It just causes confusion to newbies, and makes
it harder to port D code across future D compilers...

To be fair, it does not have no meaning. It is simply redundant, because
all module scope declarations are implicitly 'static'.
