Description Andrei Alexandrescu 2011-09-30 09:40:03 UTC 
A good example is given by core.time itself. Consider.

import core.time;

static this() {
    auto t = TickDuration.from!"msecs"(100);
}

void main(){}

This code aborts with a division by zero error. Apparently the call to the static method TickDuration.from is allowed without the @trusted shared static this() being called.
