 * Marks method to use static fields instead of stack allocation when instrumented
 * in single-thread mode.
 * 
 * You must be careful to use it only on methods that can't re-enter itself (even on
 * different instances), directly (eg. recursion) or indirectly (eg. by calling some
 * other method which calls this method again, or reentrancy introduced by user when
 * extending class).
