In Hotspot it is a common design pattern to instantiate one global and static instance of a datatype at some point in the initialization of the program.
We do not use dynamic static initialization, as this often leads to bugs when combined with non-trivial constructors (see "Static Initialization Order Fiasco."
Typically, we avoid this issue by instead using a pointer and a `malloc` in the initialization code.
This requires extra ceremony and an extra malloc call, which is unergonomic.
We can add a StableValue<T> class, which holds enough memory to initialize exactly one instance of T.
By using this, we can have global statics which are alive for the entire duration of the program.
