Not really. I just assumed the common meaning of static
(non-chnging) used in most computer science classes--even
those that teach C which has a REALLY wierd special meaning.
So Ada ever-so-slightly redefines it for convenience.
Nothing wrong with that, but I didn't know way back then.

Now that is entirely possible. They are not opposites
in the RM, but they are opposites in general use.
