{.global.} variable definition order does not match the manual

[carrexxii]

Description

According to the manual: "The order of initialization of the created global variables within a module is not defined, but all of them will be initialized after any top-level variables in their originating module and before any variable in a module that imports it."

proc a(): int = echo "a"; 1
proc b(): int = echo "b"; 2
proc c(): int = echo "c"; 3

var g = a()

proc run() =
  var x {.global.} = b()
  var y {.global.} = c()
  
run()

The {.global.}s are being initialized before the top-level variable which prevents initializing a value they depend on.
