I've always wonder why that is. I mean if I put an empty static

depend on the order of each other. Can't this be fixed if the static
constructors don't depend on each other?
I don't know if there's a reasonable way of determining if they depend
on each other, so dmd assumes they do.
Maybe do a bit of analysis that can tell whether any static ctors in a
module use symbols from any other module and use that to determine
module dependencies? It wouldn't fix the problem completely, but it
would make it a bit more fine grained, and would probably remove 90% of
the false positives.
