Description Alex Rønne Petersen 2011-11-09 10:18:49 UTC 
Currently, 'static' is required on module constructors and destructors. This seems like an extremely odd decision, considering module fields and functions do not need this modifier. I propose removing this requirement.
Comment 1 Andrei Alexandrescu 2016-10-15 01:18:55 UTC 
It's a sensible proposal, but its time has sadly passed.
