	AFAIK, all you need for some code to be run automatically on module
loading/unloading is to put it in the correct section in the object
file or in a properly named function (depending on the linker). For
example, for GNU ld, sections called .init and .fini are executed
upon module loading and unloading respectively. If the D
initializers were put into these, they would be called
automatically. You can look here for more details:
