order of static constructor execution

That and I have some patterns I like using where I use "static this()" to 
inject results without any change to the code base. For that to work, they 
need to run before things get referenced.

void delegate(string)[string] args; // static this injects into here.

void main(string[] argv)
{
    foreach(string s; argv)
         args[GetBefor('=',s)](GetAfter('=',s));
}
