A static member is a regular global namespace entity (object or
function) which for notational purposes is defined inside the class
definition (and the function as a member function style while it is
not).

For static integral members the initialization can be done inside the
class declaration without needing an external definition as with other
types. This is only supported by recent compiler releases (compiler
vendors had more important ANSI C++ things to implement than that in the
past).
