// order fiasco, this is done using function-local statics, if the

// Otherwise, we fall back to global statics.
// HOWEVER, this initialisation code imposes ordering constraints, which

// In that case, a strict ordering is imposed whereas the contexts MUST

// TODO if there is some other user of libsodium besides libzmq, this must
// be synchronized by the application. This should probably also be
