Thanks for your time.

I really wish this was implemented for classes too! Currently
it exist for structs and it completely baffles me why it has
never been implemented for structs.
maybe because of open questions. what is with private variables
in a class?
At the current time i can set private variables in a D-struct
from a different module:
// in amod.d
struct S
{
private:
immutable int a = 33;
}
// in bmod.d
S x = { a:1}; // no error
auto y = S( 1); // no error
the D-documentation doesnt tell, if this is valid behaviour of
the compiler, whatever, for now I just assume it is.
maybe it is not a good thing to be able to do that. but at the
same time the user should decide at object initialization what
value _some_ private variables shall have. so, that's what the
constructor usually is good for, too. let the user set only
certain private variables one time at initialization. with the
amod.d-code above there is no way to disallow resetting all
private variables.
And: If i can only set public variables, it is not a perfect
solution either
