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.

I never needed such type of feature, a propossed solution is to create one unit

A class function would be a better approach.

Jonathan,

Example:

TPeople = class

end;
implementation

Have a look at http://delphi.about.com/library/weekly/aa031505a.htm as a
(not too bad) way to do it in Delphi. FPC too?
