Yea, I had a feeling druntime would be involved since the cycles get 
reported at runtime. Thanks for confirming, though.

I'm not very familiar with how druntime works. Are you implying that sending 
information from a pragma to druntime would inherently require using valid 
static data from a static ctor?

I take it that the answer from the-powers-that-be to the question "Is there 
a chance that a stop-gap solution might be accepted?" is "no comment"? If 
there's any worry about a "there's a chance of it" being misinterpreted as a 
promise for inclusion, I can assure that I'm an adult and do know the 
difference between "yes" and "maybe".
