Think the argument is that declaring `T t;` must be CTFE, which kind of
implies a T.init state (which may have non-deterministic values in the
presence of " = void").
This is mostly for declaring things static, and the whole "constructors
are run after the .init blit".
But even then:
T t; //value is T.init, if not @disable this()
T t = T(); //Potentially run-time
I've started threads and tried to start discussions about this before,
but to no avail. It's a relativelly recurrent complain, especially from
"newer" C++ users.
Totally agree, and it doesn't help that some D proponents ignore this
point and just repeat "it doesn't work with the design of D". Whenever
there is a weak explanation for something it will damage D, to some
extent. In those cases it would be much better if a convincing argument
can be written up as a website FAQ, or at least state that more research
is needed before a solution can be tried.
