persistent vs static

[Bill Denney]

Is there a difference between persistent and static?  If so, the help 
should reflect that.  If not, could one of them be marked as depreciated 
in favor of or a synonym of the other?  It's just confusing to see both 
with the same help and no information about if there are any differences.

It appears from 
http://www.octave.org/doc/Persistent-Variables.html#Persistent-Variables 
that static is just there for a synonym of persistent.
