This program comes from a reduction of a bug I've found:

     foos[0].init(); // Error: function expected before (), not null of type

What do you think about the idea of not allowing methods named init() in 
structs? (Especially if they are a @property). Or maybe there is a better 
solution, opinions welcome.

IMHO we shouldn't allow having *any* members that use the same name as 
any of the compiler-provided properties/functions.
