The runtime cannot introspect the code to detect the circular

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.

Thanks for the discussion, now I understand there are
technical difficulties.
I have to give it a name like void staticInit(); and
call it manually from main().
aki.
