I've got a follow-up proposal that I'll pitch at some point: let's
drop static hints and just stuff it all into the static env. I fixed
that stuff a while ago so that dumping them into the static env will
no longer disable the loader kenv by default, and I can't imagine many
scenarios where the difference will be important -- I suspect static
kenv is rarely used as it is.
