Current behavior leads to very unclean code. You have to write:

1a.  
class A {}
class B {
  static A a;
  this() {
    a = new A;
  }
}

or 

static this() {
  B.a = new A;
}

instead of just:
1b.
class B {
  static A a = new A;
}
in every case.

Request is for classes, structs and global variables.
