Comment (by simonpj):

 OK.  But for now I'm arguing ''not'' to adopt Phab:D3843 because, as I
 argue in comment:13, it smells to much like piling a sticking plaster on
 top of a sticking plaster.  If there's a need, let's stand back and
 address it.

 Meanwhile,
 * Documenting what we have would be extremely helpful.
 * Perhaps we should add a note to `staticPtrKeys` to say that it's an
 experimental/unstable feature.
