I can't find anywhere in the spec where it's clarified what can be used as a
global/static initializer (only some special cases, like static struct
initializers)

for example it's valid to initialize a global with the address of a function,
statically. however, for example, it's not allowed to cast this function
pointer to an integer even though there's no technical reason this should not
be allowed.
