Comment (by mnislaih):

 I maintain the {{{clr-inline}}} package, which follows in the footsteps of
 {{{inline-java}}} for the .Net platform and is indeed broken by this
 change. The static pointer table is used to register bytecode objects,
 which are then loaded lazily at initialisation time. Since
 {{{staticPtrKeys}}} was mentioned in the module haddocks, I assumed it was
 stable api.
