This is true. The compiler wants to be super-sure that you are only
setting it once.
However, this can be alleviated by changing how you do things. Factor
out the code that sets it, and have it instead return a value. Then you
can do this:
shared static this() {
num_triggers = myCrazyFunction();
}
Of course, myCrazyFunction must not depend on any other static
variables, as those might not be initialized.
startup initialization can be very tricky.
