I like the idea of having a static initializer.
I think we could propose a better naming, method name `function
__staticConstructor` is a concatenation of the words static and constructor
while constructor is used as an initializer when building constructing
objects.
Have you considered naming it for example shortly `function __static()` ?
It is somehow similar to https://wiki.php.net/rfc/static_constructor#java
in static-block.

Cheers,
