pragma (crt_constructor)
You have to be pretty careful about this since it might not run
in the order you expect. If there's two things in the program
with a equal-priority crt constructor, they are run in arbitrary
order. In a shared lib, there's also the possibility that loader
locks are in place, and if it runs rt_init specifically, that can
run D module constructors... which might load other libraries.
Similar concerns apply to doing rt_init in DllMain.
This is why an explicit initialization call is the preferred
method - there, the time it is called is well-defined by the user
after initial loading is complete.
