Then just stick it in a Nullable. No explicit .init needed.

To clarify this point some more, since on reflection it's ambiguous: you might well say that "well yeah, the default constructor returns an invalid value, no shit it breaks." The semantics of Nullable are weird here though - Nullable!S constructs an S while pretending to not contain an S. The deeper problem is that there is straight up *no way* to implement Nullable correctly in a way that lets it handle types with @disabled this();

I hate to say I told you so, but... https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/5855#issuecomment-345783238

Just joking, of course =)

Nullable has needed to be completely overhauled for a long time because it was only really designed with POD types in mind.
