What does “{x:Static}” mean in XAML?

In a xaml file there is:

Command="{x:Static src:CustomCommands.Create}"

What does the x:Static mean? If I remove it then it throws an error when loading the xaml saying it “Cannot create unknown type CustomCommands.Create”

The link above from MSDN mentions:

References any static by-value code entity that is defined in a Common
Language Specification (CLS)–compliant way. The static property that
is referenced can be used to provide the value of a property in XAML.
