 Daniela has now provided a revised resolution (very similar to her
 original one), which realizes that initialization happens in the (dynamic)
 program initialization phase (as the original approach did) and doesn't
 depend on local statics:

 https://github.com/boostorg/filesystem/pull/43/commits/24240ed577229eb9568fd8050b9ca4233be92116

 It has been successfully tested against Visual Studio versions 2008, 2010,
 2012, 2013, 2015, and 2017 and against MinGW with gcc 8 HEAD. I recommend
 to accept that PR.
