The Book, speaking of static data members of classes on p. 275, says,
"[a static member] cannot be of a class with a constructor."  Cfront does
not enforce this restriction, and I cannot see any reason for the restriction
in the first place.  Is this phrase in The Book incorrect, out-of-date, or
yet to be implemented?  If the latter, what is the reason for the 
restriction?
