The MS compiler only emits the dynamic initializers for variables with constructors/destructors, just like it is currently done here for the Itanium ABI.
I also thought about adopting that behaviour, but I think threre are edge-cases when triggering dynamic TLS initialization even for constant variables is useful.
For example there might be custom TLS callbacks that can affect the value of this variable.
If desired, I can change it to match the behaviour of MS, but I thought it could be beneficial to diverge in this case.
