Yeah, I think this might work.

That would be a 3rd category out if 4 in total:
- ref for the contiguous subVectors (vec4.init.yz is a vec2)
- const for the complicated ones (vec4.init.z0 is a vec2, 2nd
component is 0)
- swizzled struct of a referenced vector: (vec4 a; a.yx is a
struct that links to the original 'a' by reference and know it
has to swap x and y).
- everything else that can contain any vector component at any
place including constants 0 and 1. I've learned this kind of
swizzling in the good old CAL/AMD_IL times.
Swizzled struct is on the righr: then it should be implicitly
casted when assigning it to the left to a vector. I gotta learn
that too.
In GLSL this behavior is implemented deeply in the compiler. I'm
so happy in D it seems also possible :D
