Whatever you do, it will have to be 1 line of code. Whether you specify an attribute, or somehow hook up an event or simply call the RegisterPrefix method, its all the same amount of effort.
Assemblies are delay loaded, so something external to an assembly needs to reference something inside the assembly for it to be loaded.
