Thanks Pearu for the bugreport.  Your analysis is correct.

Christian, we've had the same trouble when we tried to make
default_overall_coeff() an inline function in class expairseq returning
a protected static ex(1) or ex(0) respectively for classes mul and add.
This just doesn't work with static member variables.  All alternatives
which come to my mind are either preprocessor-based or replicate data and
either way as ugly as sin.  Any really good suggestion?
