Indeed, I don't see the point of static scoped variables. 
But if you need those, then I'd rather see

var a : integer; static;

or something similar, than

const
   a : Integer= 0;

Const should be exactly that, a const. My guess is that the original
"writable const" was simply a bug declared a feature.
