I hope so also.  I think that when Dave said "in this case", he meant
"if you want to use a ref argument".  The proposal is not to forbid
static tasks, but to forbid declaring ref arguments in static tasks.

It is more restrictive than is necessary to deal with the problem.
However, I can go along with it under the argument that it is easier
to relax restrictions later than to add them.
