I should clarify that when I wrote this, I thought the description was  
 from the module.html file, not the class.html file.  Ali pointed out the  
bug in the web site.  So I didn't get why you were talking about classes,  
sorry :)

Class and module static ctor/dtors should be exactly what you are looking  
for.
