Dart and few others modern languages support short declaration constructor with parameter:

  Person(String name) {

// Shorter alternative
class Person {
  String name;

  // parameters prefixed by 'this.' will assign to
  // instance variables automatically
  Person(this.name);
}

it's there any DIP for adding this future to D?

I don't agree with this feature. It's ugly. At first look at you
have no idea what it does mean (even if you know have already
some base about programming languages).
I think this type of feature would lead D to became a type of C++.

See C++ foo(int x) : x(x) {} is just too ugly either.  I don't
know if there are someone that share same feel.
