It looks like the release that added copy constructors to the
compiler was 2.086 back in May:

https://dlang.org/changelog/2.086.0.html#copy_constructor
I've been playing around with d for less than a year. I didn't
know that copy ctors were included in the language until checking
the docs for postblit ctors (It is a relatively new thing, so I
just missed it). Sorry, I keep picking my words wrongly. By
saying "less confusing" for copy ctors, I meant more readable
code for me (a newbie) in terms of syntax. This piece of code was
confusing for me (from Ali's book: this(this){grades =
grades.dup;}). Postblit ctor has a special scope. With the help
of this thread, I understood postblit ctors. Thank you.
