Am I correct in thinking that Rust does not support static initializer blocks on types the way that other languages do such as Java with it's static {} or Objective-C with it's + (void) initialize {} that are only run once on first access to any feature provided by that type?

This crate was mentioned today in the Crate of the Week thread and looks like what you want to do (ie bind CLI commands to rust functions).
