Comment:

 With Phab:D3931, the attached program now fails with a sensible error
 message:

 {{{
 staticPointerBug.hs:13:14: error:
     • Illegal static expression: static foo
         Use StaticPointers to enable this extension
     • In the untyped splice: $(cstatic 'foo)
    |
 13 |   let cl = $(cstatic 'foo)
    |              ^^^^^^^^^^^^
