The set of ACIO expressions exp is the "static initialisers" of M. The

When M is loaded, and a static results cache for M already exists, then
it will be used for the vals of M.
This sounds "reachable" to me, and therefore static overhead and not a
leak.
You can call it what you like, but it's still unacceptable behaviour,
particularly since clients of M will have no way of telling from its
API that it will happen.
You want run-once behavior without giving the runtime the ability to
tell that it's already been run?
I don't want run-once behaviour, other people do. I'm just trying to pin
down what it would mean.
