Issue ID: 23382
Summary: Non-template requirement for copy constructors is
undocumented
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P1

Constructor templates are never considered to be copy constructors by the
compiler:
---
struct S
{
this()(ref S other) { assert(0); }
}
void main()
{
S original;
S copy = original; // no assert
}
---
However, this is not documented in the language spec's section on copy
constructors:
