Hiding home link

What’s the question/goal?

How can I have that static home page and have it display the home link?

There is a function that hides the homepage link, when I comment it out it displays but it doesn’t add the currentpage class (which I need there).

Any ideas?

I’m not sure you can detect the home page as current, since it answers to is_home(). on the top of my head, I’d expect the API call to scan for something like is_page() && something, which would invariably return false.

So there is no way in which to have the homepage link highlighted!?
