Agree, there are too many meanings of 'static' - global, compile-time,
fixed-size, non-instance. The good thing is that these meanings are
interrelated. Probably, 'static' in module constructor definitions is
redundant. On the other hand, module constructors are not many and
could be otherwise easily confused with class instance constructors.

There is no 'final' storage class in D2. Or you are talking about the
concept?
