There is no language support for this?
Do modules have automatic initializer functions I could use for that?

Yes, use "static this(){}" to insert init code in your module.

alias char[] dstring;

// we really would like to use the following syntax, which isn't supported (yet) //dstring b[dstring] = ["one":"foo","two":"bar"];

// so do this instead:
dstring b[dstring];
static this(){
b["one"] = "foo";
b["two"] = "bar";
}

// prints out 'test: foobar' witout any trouble
void main(){
printf("test: %.*s%.*s\n",b["one"],b["two"]);
}
