This will catch exceptions raised in main and in static
constructors that run after this one. However, if you put that
code in the module that includes main(), it's probably going to
be the last static constructor run. That means it doesn't impact
other static constructors.
The only fix for that is putting this code in its own module that
you add as the first import in every module. And if you depend on
any library with a static constructor anywhere inside, you have
to modify that library.
But exceptions can be thrown before any static constructor is
run. The function that calls static constructors might detect a
cycle straight off, for instance.
That's why the This Week In D post injected it into the C main
function.
