I don't think this is sufficient. Imagine a group of modules

So just make the pragma apply to declarations, you either
mark specific

your module and you get your behaviour.
It is possible for each static constructor to specify

the other static constructors which imports must be
constructed first.
But do we really want to go that far?
I think we either do it right or leave it as it is. It's not
like there's no workaround so if we take a stand here we better
have something compelling.

FWIW, I think this proposal sounds like a massive hack. Not a fan.
