It's an interesting approach, although it'll take care to ensure that we
don't lose a current guarantee with the way we generate things right now.

At the moment, if you have:

    use foo

    const __init__ = {
        foo.bar()
    }

it's guaranteed that __init__ in all dependencies is called before my
__init__.
