Large statics

[Cecil Ward via Digitalmars-d-learn]

The docs say that there is a limit on the size of large statics 
of 16 MB. Is it desirable to remove this limit ? I realise that 
with new code there is the option to alloc the space instead 
where the static is uninitialised. There are other possibilities, 
such as an object filled with compile-time generated data maybe. 
The documentation also points out the crazy but understandable 
bloat on the exe size.

Is it possible to place a large object in BSS by using
  ubyte arr[ enormous ] = void;
