Mixed-in state that requires static initialization is a problem. Neither 
of the solutions you have listed seems to work well in that scenario:

1. Access to the lazily initialized data must be synchronized, which is 
not always a way to go.

2. A third module cannot be used. At least, we haven't been able to 
figure out how to do that. Probably, something could be hacked up if 
this bug (feature) is fixed

3. Forcing the user to initialize each mixed-in piece manually is a 
potential source of grievance.
