Yeah, that was kinda the whole point--you introduce a small static getter 
function to return the value of the static data member.

That getter does not need to take the address of the member, and therefore you 
don't need to have memory allocated for it. Having the extra 
function "litter" around is not pretty, but it was acceptable to me. The 
address of the *getter* is what you pass to add_static_property(). Sorry for 
not being sufficiently clear.
