In some of the large programs, verbs are defined as non-static functions. To support this cases, add variants of the VERB macros that take an explicit scope parameter. The existing macros then call those new macros with scope=static. The variant without static is the exception, so the macros are "optimized" toward the static helpers. I also considered allowing VERB macros to be used in different files, i.e. in different compilation units. This would actually work without too many changes, except for one caveat: the order in the array would be unspecified, so we'd need to somehow order the verbs appropriately. This most likely means that the verbs would need to be annotated with a number. But that doesn't seem attractive at all: we'd need to coordinate changes in different files. So just listing the verbs in one file seems like least bad option.
