Getting rid of static cdtors is a good goal for druntime and standard
library. Modules that need initialization should do so lazily upon first
use.
I picked a low-hanging fruit in
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/7529 - there is no need at all to
initialize and test pointers to function in Posix.
Could a Windows engineer help with the Windows part? It's a bit more
involved - the pointers to functions should be initialized upon first
use in a Singleton manner, and atexit(WSACleanup) needs to be inserted
right after the call to WSAStartup.
(BTW, has wine support been maintained? It would be useful for such
cases - I could test the Windows code without an installation.)
