  You forget that you can make #while-loops which take hours to parse although
it creates only some simple objects.

: When parsing a #static declaration, check if the name is already in the
: symbol table.  If it is then skip to the end of the declaration.

  You still have to parse the entire code to see where is the matching 
semicolon.
  There's no way to avoid parsing other than copying the whole source code
to memory without the static parts of it and then parse this copy.
