Is this expected?
Yes, it is per the spec, though new users find it weird. Maybe we should change this but any static initializer is run at CTFE. Then the *static pointer* is put into the static initializer, which is just copied over before the constructor.
So it ends up being an instance reference to a static object. If you want a new one, call `new Foo` in a regular constructor.
