Is there a reason that the following code

struct Foo

    this (string name)
    { do_something(name); }

    ~this()
    { undo_something(); }
}

Foo foo = void;

void open()
{
    foo = Foo("test"); // <- this line
}

tries to OpAssign foo to itself then calls foo's destructor?

What happens is this.

void open()
{
  foo = () {
  Foo _tmp = Foo.__ctor("test");
  return _tmp;
  } ();
}
