Why not short out IND_STATICs in the GC?

Hi Simon, I'm wondering why in the GC we don't short out IND_STATICs like we do in INDs and BLACKHOLEs. Is there a reason for that? In this code in evacuate(): case IND_STATIC: evacuate_static_object(IND_STATIC_LINK((StgClosure *)q), q); return; Why not do something
