-``static``
-==========
-
-The ``static`` keyword can be used to create variables that are
-visible to only one function. However, unlike local variables that get
-created and destroyed every time a function is called, ``static``
-variables persist beyond the function call, preserving their data
-between function calls.
-
-Variables declared as ``static`` will only be created and initialized
-the first time a function is called.
-
-.. note:: This is only one use of the ``static`` keyword in C++.  It
-   has some other important uses that are not documented here; consult
-   a reliable C++ reference for details.
-
-Example
--------
-
-One use case for ``static`` variables is implementing counters that
-last longer than the functions which need them, but shouldn't be
-shared to other functions.  Here's an example::
-
-    void setup() {
-        SerialUSB.begin();
-    }
-
-    void loop() {
-        int reading;
-        if (timeToReadSensors()) {
-            reading = readSensors();
-        }
-        // do something with reading
-    }
-
-    int readSensors() {
-        static int numSensorReadings = 0;
-        numSensorReadings++;
-        if (numSensorReadings % 100 == 0) {
-            SerialUSB.print("just got to another 100 sensor readings");
-        }
-        return analogRead(...);
-    }
-
-In this example, the static variable ``numSensorReadings`` is
-initialized to zero the first time ``readSensors()`` is called, and
-then incremented, so it starts out at one.  Subsequent calls to
-``readSensors()`` won't reset ``numSensorReadings`` to zero, because
-it was declared ``static``.  Thus, ``numSensorReadings`` is a count of
-the number of times that ``readSensors()`` has been called.
