Description
It might be helpful to internally mark explicitly statically linked extension in an executable (-static-extension) as "pre-loaded", for example by adding them to ##sys#loaded-extensions before loading require'd extensions.

At T-DOSE we have come to the conclusion that any effort for statically linkable eggs will be silently dropped. It is too much of a hassle to get this working, the user interface is awkward, and egg-authors don't test static linking in most cases. Since it is easier to just use
-deployif self-contained binaries are desired this feature will be phased out.
