But not this fucking thing?

```D
struct EntityDef
{
    struct
    {
        int hp;
    } stats;
}
```


Let me name my shit


No, i don't want to do:


```D
struct EntityDef
{
    struct Stats
    {
        int hp;
    } Stats stats;
}
```

Repeating the same name 3 times, i should go back to the stone 
age too no?

C and all other C like languages allow me to be concise

Why is it a D thing to be backward?

It’s the semicolon. As soon as the closing brace, the declaration 
is over. You would have to invent new syntax.
