Going completely off-topic, I recommend against objects registering 
themselves that way. That idiom has caused trouble in more than one 
project for us.

In general, I think a constructor should not have side-effects unless 
needed for the object's construction (e.g. allocating a resource for the 
object should obviously fine).
