RE: [sv-bc] In-line variable initialization

I don't think so.

6.6. says, "Data declared in a static task, function, or block default
to a static lifetime and a local scope."

I don't see anywhere in the LRM a hint that there is a difference in
this between a declaration with and without an initializer.
