// Initializers are a way to register your object to be initialized at startup time.
// They're a good way to have global variables without worrying about dependent
// constructors being called. They also make it so init code doesn't depend on the
// global objects it's initializing.

// To use initializers, just use REGISTER_INITIALIZER to register your global variable like this:
// class SomeClass {....}
// SomeClass *g_pSomeClassSingleton = NULL;
// REGISTER_INITIALIZER(SomeClass, &g_pSomeClassSingleton);
