I'm just migrating to shared, and I have some questions to switch static
variables to immutable.
I'm confused about how to treat 'static immutable' class members and function
local constants which is determined at compile time or 'static this'.

According to "Const and Immutable" article, it seems that immutable value
requires only single memory instance which is able to be referenced from
anywhere, any class instance, any threads or any function in any stack.
Put all of them into a ROM, yep!
But wait, here is function local immutable which seems not to be in a ROM.

'static immutable' class members may have single memory instance, so that they
seem not to need 'static' marking.
Function local constants, on the other hand, may need to be marked as 'static
immutable' or 'invariant' if we need unique value among all threads.

I'm not confident about them, so please let me know how to treat them.
