Maybe you should read the documentation. Static fields are supported already
for 10 years:
~/fpc/compiler>>> cat p.pp
{$mode objfpc}
{$static on}
type
cl=class
l : longint;static;
end;

Marco van de Voort:
Class constants add the ability to provide scoped, "namespaced"
constants.
A constant is already in a scope, the unit.
The unit scope is a very open scope. Via class constants, one gets private,
protected and public scoping for constants, all of which are essential scope

So are constants local to a function. Being able to restrict the
scope to a certain function or group of functions is nevertheless
useful.

Yup. A class variable is another matter, which afaik cannot be reached
with one class per unit approach.
