    // If the runtime is dynamically loaded as a DLL, there is a problem with
    // threads still running when the DLL is supposed to be unloaded:
    //
    // - with the VC runtime starting with VS2015 (i.e. using the Universal CRT)
    //   a thread created with _beginthreadex increments the DLL reference count
    //   and decrements it when done, so that the DLL is no longer unloaded unless
    //   all the threads have terminated. With the DLL reference count held up
    //   by a thread that is only stopped by a signal from a static destructor or
    //   the termination of the runtime will cause the DLL to never be unloaded.
    //
    // - with the DigitalMars runtime and VC runtime up to VS2013, the thread
    //   continues to run, but crashes once the DLL is unloaded from memory as
    //   the code memory is no longer accessible. Stopping the threads is not possible
    //   from within the runtime termination as it is invoked from
    //   DllMain(DLL_PROCESS_DETACH) holding a lock that prevents threads from
    //   terminating.
    //
    // Solution: start a watchdog thread that keeps the DLL reference count above 0 and
    // checks it periodically. If it is equal to 1 (plus the number of started threads), no
    // external references to the DLL exist anymore, threads can be stopped
    // and runtime termination and DLL unload can be invoked via FreeLibraryAndExitThread.
    // Note: runtime termination is then performed by a different thread than at startup.

    // and signals their handles before unconditionally calling DllMain(DLL_PROCESS_DETACH).
