"Disallow taking the address of a non-mut static value unless it is Freeze"
Can someone explain why this is necessary?
static FOO: Option<Cell<int>> = None;
let foo = &FOO;
Why would this be a problem? Or is this not what's being referred to?
Actually... given that you can't move out of a static, and all
functions/methods are either by value (moves) or by ref (takes address),
this means the only way you could interact with a non-Freeze static _at
all_ is if it were Pod/Copy. But Pod/Copy types are never non-Freeze. So...
I'm confused.
