I wouldn't mind that, but Walter shot that idea down previously when I was arguing for adding a way to the language to tell the compiler that a static constructor didn't depend on anything else. He didn't want a "trust the programmer" mechanism in this case. I don't remember what his arguments were though. - Jonathan M Davis
