S.init should be known at compile time by the spec.

But why is this needed?

It is quite helpful for template / meta-programming stuff. You are always 100% guaranteed that you can construct S.init and use with your weird template magic wihtout extra checks and fallbacks. However, so far most of real-world usages of T.init I have seen is more about template constraint checks where exact T.init value does not matter that much. Any other usage examples in mind?
