I don't think removing DEFINE_STATIC_LOCAL is a good idea, regardless of this
new usage. It's true that we use it to work around a GCC bug. But we also use
it to make indicate the idiom of using a local variable in a way that avoids
static destructors. It's better to that than to handwrite the idiom each time.

We might want to rename it, but it seems unlikely we'd want to remove it.
