Hm. okay I am able to call a static ctor/dtor from an foreign module .. 
but the semantic association I have regarding static module constructor 
is different/ Something like loading one or more module at compile time, 
pick up  some ctor infos from module A containing A.X A.Y  and from 
module B containing B.C  and  init. ALL the good stuff in A and B from 
C. which is in your example MyModule.
However. I have no idea which advantages this feature really has.
