The only advantage you have is that your type can be derived from
another so you can reuse some of its implementation. There are other
ways to acheive that in D however (mixins come to mind).
That said, I'm not against adding struct inheritance if it can be done
in a way that avoids slicing problems. I think this can be acheived by
making slicing innoculous:
1. forbid overriding base members
2. forbid destructors in derived strucs (or else slicing would lose the
destructor)
Open questions:
Is that constraining enough to avoid slicing problems?
Do these constrains make the feature irrelevant?
