Does that really work reliably? As far as I remember, the trick with 
brackting sections doesn't work on Mac OS X. DMD had some problems with 
that. It basically broke on every new major release of Mac OS X, the 
linker changed all the time. If I recall correctly it either removed the 
empty sections or reordered the sections.

But the dynamic linker on Mac OS X has an API to access these sections 
easily anyway.
