Hmm... any reason why?
if instantiated template was not used in any code that makes
into compiled binary, compiler is free to remove it with all
it's ctors. it may do that, or may not, but removal is allowed.
so while that can work now (i didn't checked), it may stop
working in next version (or with another compiler), and that
will not be a bug.
Does the specification really say that? This isn't obvious to me
at all. I would expect static ctors to be treated as if they were
"referenced" by the initialization logic (though I understand
it's not an explicit reference, they just end up in a special
section that the runtime can inspect).
