This is not quite correct, I can have two files separately define the
same class with no qualifiers and have no problems linking-- or so
it seemed in my test case.  Personally I think that declaring things
to be static is the backwards way, [instead of explicitly granting
visibility] but my personal opinion doesn't count for much in this
arena. :-)
