Comment (by heisenbug):

 Replying to [comment:30 simonpj]:
 > Great.  So I think we now agree that the IND_STATIC patch is about (a)
 code size  and (b) performance; and that both are very small (albeit
 worthwhile) improvements.  ''It is not about correctness''.  OK so far?

 Agree, we may have different definitions of "correct". No crashes. Yep.

 This one:

 Applying this causes crashes. #15155 helps with that. #16039 helps more.
