Right, but if you do define it (in order to do something extra upon

Right, but the static initialization then shouldn't work, either.
Why not? It works if you use static opCall(int,int) instead of
this(int,int).
Because if you need runtime execution to initialize, a back door to
statically initialize it looks like a bug.
who said anything about needing runtime? If the constructor can be evaluated
as CTFE with it's only result being the struct getting set up, why not let
it. I can think of serval useful thing to do with that (validation, denormalization,
etc.)
