I was looking at a Swift language guide (Apple’s new language) and they have
this exact same syntax for initializing structs (like a default constructor
that Pascal is missing).
From their guide “vga" is a struct with 2 fields: width and height. Swift uses
labels in functions (like Objective-C) but the end result is that it looks
identical to the Pascal syntax for defining constant records.
======
All structures have an automatically-generated memberwise initializer, which
you can use to initialize the member properties of new structure instances.
Initial values for the properties of the new instance can be passed to the
memberwise initializer by name:
var vga = Resolution(width: 640, height: 480)
