Investigation: init order of static template member fields

indicates rather questionable behaviour.
The standard demands a templated static field to be defined before first odr-use.
IIRC, it even demands a static field to be initialised prior to use in a ctor.

But here the definition of the templated static member field is dropped off even after
the definition of another static field, which uses the (templated) Front-end-class
in its initialiser.
