Plugin for the [XP Compiler](https://github.com/xp-framework/compiler/) which adds a static initializer syntax for PHP. This is compiled to `__static()` functions recognized by the XP class loading mechanism.

Example

-------

```php

namespace com\example\brotli;

class Streams {

  static {

    stream_wrapper_register('brotli', self::class);

  }

  // ...

}

```

Installation

------------

After installing the XP Compiler into your project, also include this plugin.

```bash

$ composer require xp-framework/compiler

# ...

$ composer require xp-lang/xp-static

# ...

```

No further action is required.
