Hmm, Kim says extern, you say static. Either way , I can't get it to work.

I agree with you that you have to wonder why you'd want this on a char*.
But a more general pointer argument might occasionally be useful to supply
something along the lines of a "traits class" if, for some reason, the
usually way of doing a traits class was not possible.
