Issue ID: 13806
Summary: std.bitmanip.BitArray -- use of methods named init()
messes up templates

It seems to be pretty common and accepted practice to use the static init field
to get default values of an arbitrary templated type--however this pattern will
fail hard on types like BitArray that have methods name init(), and no
overloads that can be called without parameters.
It'd make life a lot easier if these methods could be renamed to something like
initialize().
