Why are static virtual functions illegal?  This would be useful for
functions such as `virtual int SymbolTable::compare(char *, char *)'.
It's a waste to pass a pointer to `this' to those functions.

And while I'm writing: How about static virtual variables?  These would
be useful for per-class data such as a "description" fields for a class.
Maybe only const variables should be allowed though.
