One advantage to static links is that, if you decide to put displays
and/or links in registers (a very reasonable way to do it), if you
use static links you need only 2 registers (global and static links),
but if you use displays you must allocate N registers, where N is
the deepest procedure nesting you can handle (or that occurs in the
program, if your runtime system knows about the specific program).
