unique condition for static start page?

Do we have a unique condition to test for a static start page (ie, a static page is flagged as the start page of s9y)?

Where do you want to test it for?
Short answer: No.
long answer: We could add a smarty modifier or function call to the staticpage plugin though, if you can explain more in depth what you need. Should be easy.

we have conditions such as these:
$startpage =='true', $view == 'start', $staticpage_pagetitle == ''.... what I would like is something that identifies it as a static start page... a unique condition. I can do it in a template very easily with something like $staticpage_custom.start_page... and perhaps that is the route I should take if no one thinks there is value to something template independent.

Hi!
Hm, shouldn't a combination of:
{if $static_pagetitle != '' AND $view == 'start'}
maybe do that trick?

Yeah, I thought of that already, but its not working... in my test, a static page marked as the s9y start page, $view = plugins, and $startpage = false. At minimum, something should be changed so that static start pages also emit $startpage = true. $view = start might also be a good thing, but maybe there was some reason that "plugins" was a better choice.
I actually did discover (thanks to {$debug}) that there is this available: $staticpage_is_startpage, but if I try to use this: if $staticpage_is_startpage=='true' (with or without also testing the static page title), that logic only works when actually hitting the static page URL. I need something that works in index.tpl.
EDIT: I don't think anything special is required..... after much experimentation, it seems that the static page as a start page will work, but the static page plugin must be early in the event queue, in my test it has to exist before the extended properties event plugin.
