A useful intermediate step is to have these "[shared] static this" ctor call a function instead, so that programs without druntime can call them

That would be progress.

Same story for core.cpuid which is initialized by a shared static constructor.
https://github.com/dlang/druntime/blob/master/src/core/cpuid.d

It seems the "shared static this" is allowed to break immutable but a function wouldn't. So maybe the variables here should be private __gshared?.
