 +===== Exception handling =====
 +The current behavior allows exceptions to be thrown from within the static constructor, and the program can recover from them. It's up to the programmer to decide how to handle this. This behavior is possible because the static constructor is called upon the usage of static properties, not when the class is loaded or linked. It's similar to throwing an exception from an existing "init" method, but **the static constructor won't be called by the engine a second time**. Just like an instance constructor can throw an exception, and if you decide to recover from it, you won't have an instance of that class.
