That use of free_or_static seems just plain wrong. Why would you synthesize a type while giving a choice as to how it is decorated? Yes, you can document that free_or_static and undecorated are the same in this context, but it is confusing at best.
Since free functions and static [member] functions are the same type, should we just use "free_" as the prefix and drop "free_or_static_" ? I've no strong preference over this suggestion, just looking to avoid any confusion, John.
