I was trying to avoid such things since X is quite long in name. Not a huge deal... and I do not like the syntax because it looks like a constructor call.

It is a constructor call, though. You can define your own as well:

  #! /usr/bin/env rdmd
  import std.stdio;

  struct X {
      int a;

      this(int x) {
          a = x * 2;
      }
  }

  void main() {
      auto test = X(22);
      writeln(test.a);
  }

output: 44
