I wouldn't mind that, but Walter shot that idea down previously when I was
arguing for adding a way to the language to tell the compiler that a static
constructor didn't depend on anything else. He didn't want a "trust the
programmer" mechanism in this case. I don't remember what his arguments were
though.
