Do you want to help me fix static AA initialization?

Yes, this can be done. We can even mark the static ctor as standalone, 
so it doesn't participate in cycles.

And then in the future if we can find a way to do it during CTFE, then 
it can be seamlessly changed.

There are some hairy aspects -- like what you do if the initialized 
value is done in a function call or the AA is a member of a type instead 
of the thing being initialized, but those are surmountable.

Great idea!
