It would be nice to have a MOZ_STATIC_CLASS annotation, indicating that objects of a class should only be instantiated in static memory.

Nika says:

> though we should probably also have a MOZ_STATIC_CLASS alias.

Once that's done, this XXX item should be fixed:

BTW, I did a try push where I used a MOZ_STATIC_CLASS as a heap class and a stack class and it successfully complained about both.
