You might consider Nullable from std.typecons; however, if you're 
avoiding implicit initialization for performance reasons, then 
this solution might not be applicable.

import std.stdio: writeln;
import std.typecons: Nullable;

Nullable!int x;

if (x.isNull)
{
        writeln("x not 'initialized'");
}
else
{
        // OK, use x
}

// 'Uninitialize' x
x.nullify();
