The problem is, that even if I call "setAssetHandler" in a shared module constructor, and that module does not import any other modules, it is still not initialized first. Is there a way to set the assert before any module constructors run without hacking druntime?

I'd have to give it some thought.  My first idea for solving the problem (looking for a specific named function using dlsym) should work but it seems like a hack.  The easiest fix without any library changes would be to have all the modules in your app that you want to run after the hook is set import the module that initializes the hook.
