@TFTomSun Thanks, that was helpful. You are correct. I was able to build examples on [.NET Core](https://gist.github.com/jnm2/20996a30ea5db3a0980ccc66c076f890) and [.NET Framework](https://gist.github.com/jnm2/7a4289989c2a5998927e8c3bab98bb83) which show that Assembly.GetTypes() does not trigger the module initializer....

@jkotas Awesome! Should I start with opening an issue so that someone else can start the document, or should I start with a PR to add e.g. `runtime/docs/design/features/ECMA-335-Augments.md` with a...

That is quite a wart. Discussion: https://github.com/dotnet/csharplang/discussions/2547

This doesn't seem related, but it's such a coincidence that I'll point to it anyway:
