Sorry, I didn't make myself clear. What I meant was, why does this static
variable exist at all? It has scope only within the file and does nothing
here other than initialise class static variable LangInit::init to true.
Thereafter, this variable is reset to false. Why can't we get rid of
"static LangInit langinit;" ?
Or am I misreading this code?
