Issue ID: 17954
Summary: init member should be disallowed
Product: D
Version: D2
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: enhancement
Priority: P1
Component: dmd
Assignee: [email protected]

Now that Phobos and DMD do not have any types that define an init member of any
kind (TypeInfo.init was the only culprit), we should disallow defining members
with the name init. This allows generic code to correctly assume that T.init
will be the exact default initializer instance of a type.
I propose that in the next compiler release (at time of this writing, that
would be 2.078) defining an init member should be a deprecation warning. Then
at the next compiler release, it is an error.
