I don't understand what is the effective difference between what you want
and ...

 //file.d
 void main(char[][] args)
 {
 	someFunk(args);
 	runProgram();
 }
 //end of file

Why is it essential that the initialization be performed by the module ctor
rather than the first function called by main()?

I can understand your desire from a stylistic POV but not from a purely
run-time operational POV.
