Thank you for your tip.
If could simplify it a bit more, it would be even better. It's
really uncomfortable without `this()`.
One could define a static opCall in his aggregate. It's still a
factory function, but one might prefer the syntax a bit more.
```d
immutable defaultName = "John";
struct Man {
static auto opCall() {
typeof(this) this_;
this_.name = defaultName;
return this_;
}
string name;
}
auto m = Man();
assert(m.name == defaultName);
```
Do note that one cannot simultaneously have a constructor and a
static opCall, even if their parameters differ.
