+.I readonly-value=namespace.typename.fieldname=type/value
+Override the value of a static readonly field. Usually, during JIT
+compilation, the static constructor is ran eagerly, so the value of
+a static readonly field is known at compilation time and the compiler
+can do a number of optimizations based on it. During AOT, instead, the static
+constructor can't be ran, so this option can be used to set the value of such
+a field and enable the same set of optimizations.
+Type can be any of i1, i2, i4 for integers of the respective sizes (in bytes).
+Note that signed/unsigned numbers do not matter here, just the storage size.
+This option can be specified multiple times and it doesn't prevent the static
+constructor for the type defining the field to execute with the usual rules
+at runtime (hence possibly computing a different value for the field).
