Any chance static atoms could reside as plain old static C data

At least under MSVC, they have vtables, so they need to be
constructed, so they're not static. Note that their string storage is
static, through the use of fake string buffers (possibly this should
be switched to fake literal strings).
Perhaps we could probably use string buffers directly as atoms. Static
atoms would be replaced by their underlying fake string buffers (perhaps
identified by a zero refcount?) while other atoms would be refcounted
buffers typically from their original nsString objects.
