But #static is just a fancy way of saying "#if (this_is_the_first_parse)",
so it nests perfectly with other #ifs.  It has to, because otherwise you'll
hit an unmatched #end or an unmatched #if the second time you parse the file.
Unless you're thinking about something horrible like this

#static
  #if (0)
#endstatic
   object {wristband}
#static
  #end
#endstatic

to make the mat object only appear in frames after the first one. (does that
make it an antistatic mat?)  But that's a horrible, horrible corruption of 
the purpose of #static (and wouldn't scale to multiple processors working on
the same animation.)
