Why not just:

struct Foo{
     this(){

void main(){
     Foo foo1; // error, no init value
     auto foo2=Foo(); // ok
}

Because then the user might think, that the default constructor gets 
called implicitly by the compiler. Just like in C++. But as that is not 
the case the syntax should be different to indicate that a struct might 
still be instaniated just using T.init.
