Agreed, just one small remark though, The article states "Every static
variable is stored on the heap", this is not completely correct if Jon here
meant the GC heap.
Static variables are not stored on the GC heap, but they live on a private,
per application domain heap, more precisely, on the "High Frequency heap"
within the loader heap. So, if you ever wonder where the PairOfInts static
counter variable lives, well it's on the "High Frequency Heap".
