          Issue ID: 23756
           Summary: Add thread local constructor/destructor pragma
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows

          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1

It is necessary to have a libc-based constructor/destructor at the thread
level.

This would replace DllMain for thread initialization and allow us to do TLS
initialization in -betterC (although we may want to switch to it outright, for
threads not registered with runtime).

Some MSVC specific details:
