In the post you replied to saying "static doesn't matter", the proposal
was:
private:
static int runWrapper(...);
I then replied to your post, etc.
Anyway, let's not degenerate into he-said-she-said. We're really just
talking past each other while agreeing, I think.

Right, I was talking about member functions. You're right that it's not
portable, but I think portability is probably a pretty low concern for
most legOS programs.
