This is a static initialization....
The assert fails. This is completely surprising to me. Is this
actually expected?
Yes, it is expected if you are familiar with the spec.
All member = x things inside a class or struct declaration are
static initializers. These are CTFE'd into the same form as a
literal. So there's one instance of Foo there which is assigned
to the object member before the constructor runs.
For a runtime initialization, you use a constructor.
