One more API change for K_GLOBAL_STATIC (from what I know it's not used anywhere yet):
use an anonymous struct (POD) for the global object that provides the following functions:
- bool isDestroyed()
- operator TYPE*()
- TYPE *operator->()
- TYPE &operator*()
- static void destroy()
The latter is used for cleanup and can be used as a post routine with
qAddPostRoutine

This expands to a little more code but a lot nicer API.
