I want to use the init_priority(prio) attribute
(https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C_002b_002b-Attributes.html#C_002b_002b-Attributes)

to initialize stuff in my library early so that users of the library can use the library during their own static objects construction. However, my library uses standard C++ library facilities like std::string,
