Even static factories are solvable, depending on how they are 
implemented.  Making the API in question import the impl is one option; 
controlling the TCCL is another option.  It all depends on the situation.

Yeah we need to evaluate each issue case-by-case.  Almost every such API 
we export does it a different way.
