Yep, don't know how that got missed. I'll fix.

Basically because:

a) We're in process of deciding what the right way to handle the 
initialization is in general.

b) I copied the basic metaphor from another project, and in that project, the 
ultimate result was that while the author did include
those static init blocks originally, they did not reliably init the library 
in all cases, and he eventually abandoned that approach
and simply required an explicit call.

I do apologize for the fact that there's no docs on this kind of thing, but 
this is still in a very much user-beware state, and
resources are limited.
