-The <tt>__main</tt> call is inserted by the C/C++ compiler in order to guarantee
-that static constructors and destructors are called when the program starts up
-and shuts down. In C, you can create static constructors and destructors by
-using GCC extensions, and in C++ you can do so by creating a global variable
-whose class has a ctor or dtor.

-The actual implementation of <tt>__main</tt> lives in the
