This syntax was allowed on previous Vala version but this is a misuse of the
"static" keyword. Only variables can be "static" and static means that the same
content of the variable is accessible to any instances of an object.

In Vala, const is the equivalent to preprocessor constant used in C, so here
the right way to declare them is to use const and not static, or here "static
const"
