I get strange things when I try to initialize variables in the static
constructors. It's quite easy to just move the variable outside into the class,
so it's not a severe bug.. also, once the pointer is initialized, it works ok
from then on... here's an example:

import std.stdio;
static class Lala {
        static:
        void delegate() lala2;
        void delegate() lala3;
        void delegate() lala4;
        void delegate() ok2;

        static this() {
                uint* lala;
                uint* ok = null;
                lala2 = delegate() { writefln("inside delegate: should be
'0000': ", lala); lala = new uint; *lala = 5; };
                lala3 = delegate() { writefln("inside delegate: should be
'0000': ", lala, " and the value is: ", *lala); lala = null; };
                lala4 = delegate() { writefln("inside delegate: should be
'0000': ", lala); };
                ok2 = delegate() { writefln("inside delegate: should be '0000':
", ok); };
                writefln("outside delegate: should be '0000': ", lala, " and
'0000': ", ok);
        }
}

void main() {
        Lala.lala2(); // bad
        Lala.lala3(); // behaves as expected
        Lala.lala4(); // behaves as expected
        Lala.ok2(); // bad
}
