It shouldn't be scary, because the idea is if some common C struct is
not acceptable in D, one gets a decent compiler error message. A scary
thing would be if the code was silently accepted but did something
different.
Also, nobody is answering the question. I can work out the
alternatives, but I'd just prefer it if existing code worked. I used
to use the idiom I quote all the time.
I'm not understanding your question, then.
I believe he is asking for a way to force that code to compile (a compiler
switch or have it enabled by default).
