[ioquatix (Samuel Williams)]

As a follow on from https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18189 I would like to propose some kind of static class initialization. I'll investigate whether it's possible and create a PR.

[Eregon (Benoit Daloze)]

I think for the public API functions should be used, as that providees a lot more flexibility in implementation.
Initializing as static means there is no possibility to ever add e.g. some context argument to it, so it is limiting.

[ioquatix (Samuel Williams)]

Yes, this would only be for internal CRuby initialization, not for 3rd party code.
