Convert all static Id strings to comments.  There are only a few, mostly in
isdn, because we normally don't use them.  Use

	static type_t const object = ...;

for apparently-unused static objects.  I'm not sure how to handle apparently-
unused static functions.

A library macro conditioned to produce comments instead of static strings
might be best if it existed :-).
