That's because in all other objects, static functions are just that,
static functions, but if you define a function as static in the auto-
object, you tell DGD that this is a special function, an afun or efun
if you will, and one of the side-effects is that you cannot call it
with a call_other() anymore, just like you can't do that for the built
in kfuns.
