Yeah, it may not have been so helpful, sorry.

Module constructors if one of the things that don't work properly. I 
don't know exactly how this works in std.stdio I would need to study the 
code. If I recall correctly std.stdio uses some kind of hack to avoid 
circular dependencies that can otherwise occur if two modules, both 
having module constructors, import each other.
