+// For WebCore we need to avoid having static constructors.
+// Our strategy is to declare the global objects with a different type (initialized to 0)
+// and then use placement new to initialize the global objects later. This is not completely
+// portable, and it would be good to figure out a 100% clean way that still avoids code that
+// runs at init time.
