It's true enough for most. But in deference to strict logic and the
marketability of the FAQ, I've changed the statement to a question:
"[Does that mean] I have to build all my library objects twice, once
for shared and once for static?! I don't like that!"
I'm the one who redrafted that whole section in the 1st place, to make
things clear that weren't terribly intelligible before, so I'm guilty
of being a little touchy on the wordsmithing. Like saying something
is "untrue" when it's true 95% of the time. But no matter, this one's
true 100% of the time, everyone's happy! :-)
Cheers,
