This currently fails unless you mark the class as static:
auto construct(T)() {
return new T;
}
void main() {
class C {}
auto s = construct!C;
}
So wondering if there's anything that can be done to get the
above working?
Or if there isn't then how could the compiler be enhanced to
allow for something like this if possible?

The use case is for a non-nullable type, where I want to
guarantee that the value inside will never be null. I can't do it
for inner classes though. And I can't allow the user to do
something like:
void main() {
class C {}
auto s = construct(new C);
}
Because I can't guarantee that's not null.
