I can't think of any case when a non-Python allocated overlapped 
structure would be used.  In fact I am not even sure it would be 
possible today even if you wanted to.  Using the static is just a safety 
net - it is unlikely to be what is desired, as the static is unavailable 
to Python code anyway.
