I have just discovered an interesting behavior, and I'm wondering if this behavior is intentional or even necessary.

Let's say I have this module called mod2.d:

module mod2;

string buildModData()
{
     string result;
     foreach(i; 0 .. 10000)
         result = result ~ "lots and lots and lots of data";
     return result;
}

static moddata = buildModData();

A workaround found by Jonathan Davis:

string moddata() {
   static result = buildModData();
   return result;
}
