I'm not sure how that hurts anything. It's just a call to malloc().
Static this()es require a topological order on modules, or it blows up when
running the module ctors. We've had many issues with static-this()es that
required us to split modules into "top and bottom parts", which only serve
breaking cycles for the ctors (i.e., not a logical compilation unit, but a
technical one).
Splitting them, as you say, works, as well as simply creating a function that
does it and calling it when main() starts.
