In the article it says:
Finally, main calls updateMethods. This should be done before
calling any method (typically first thing in main) and each

If the something has to be done at the beginning, we have a
tool for that: static this (on module level). The
mixin(registerMethods); at the top should therefore mix in.
static this() { updateMethods(); }
It's never wrong: Calling it in main, too, will at most be
redundant. You can still call it manually, but for the part of
main, you cannot inadvertently forget it. You can still have
static this in that module as you may have multiple static this.
We had a discussion about automating the call to updateMethods
but I don't think that anybody thought of putting it in
registerMethods. It might work. I'll look into it. Thanks for the
suggestion...
