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

Then let's help the users and put a restriction back in saying that an
in-line variable initialization shall not be used in the declaration of
a static variable unless the static lifetime is explicitly indicated
with the 'static' keyword.

This issue should have really gone through the SV-BC originally since
this was an SV3.0 feature. The SV-EC was probably only thinking of
declarations inside classes that are by default, automatic. The text
could have easily been changed to require the static keyword in cases
inside a procedural block where the default lifetime was presently
static and an initialization was being used.
