My question is can I initialize structs like these in one line without relying on a second line? My usecase scenario doesn't really allow constructors for the struct, since it's a binding to an external library via C API.

Have you tried named parameter construction?

```d
S foo2 = S(TypeEnum.Float32, U(f32: 20.0));
```
