Okay, I accept. :)

There's the problem.  It's easy to make them identical once.  It's less 
easy to remember to update both copies any time one has to change. 
Duplicate code is always at risk of drift.

If you need a declaration in multiple places, it goes in a header file; 
that's why they were invented.

All we're doing with these MYSQLPP_SSQLS_NO_STATICS games is choosing 
where the *definition* goes, because there can be only one of those.
