Oh. Speaking of which, we need to add IDN support at some point...

Yes, I think that's the only approach that makes sense anyway. And it
makes the whole ctor-priority system even more ugly because it causes
program semantics to change depending on how the program is broken up
into shared libraries, counteracting all the hard work ELF did to make
dynamic linking transparent with respect to program semantics...
