That's not elegant. You need a factory function for each type

A constructor is just a factory function with a special name... 
it is almost equal amount of work.

Sorry but this is just completely wrong. RAII is all about me NOT 
having to call special functions all over the place.

struct S
{
    this() { /* initialize */ }
}

S[123] myArray; // hooray, no need to invoke a factory in a loop

struct Container
{
    S s;
    // hooray, implicit this() automatically calls s.this()
}
