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?.
They are in Mir CPUID, but methods are not pure.
