At some point, we're really going to have to look into adding something to the 
language that makes it possible to indicate when there is no circular 
dependency and that the order of initialization doesn't matter. This problem 
is _really_ annoying ever time that it comes up - and even worse, it can't be 
determined at compile time. Maybe something as simple as

static this() @nodepend(std.process)
{
    ...
}

I don't know. That's just off the top of my head, but I do think that this is 
an issue that is going to have be addressed at some point.
