[chuck-users] setting static data at construction (bug)

[Stefan Blixt]

Aha - so the initialization of a static member of a class doesn't work at
all. I see. I am a bit confused about the mixing of static variable
declarations and constructor code in classes - I would think it would be
more clear if the two were separated syntactically somehow. But I guess it
will work this way also.
