There is the problem with forward static variable declarations. C++, particularly 
G++, rejects them. And the module init routine has to be declared extern "C" to 
avoid name mangling. And I recall a case where an rvalue is cast void to assign it to 
an arbitrary lvalue pointer. But this only happens in a particular case, properties or 
something.
