No, unlike what I suggest, that doesn't work without carefully
reviewing every single place you put it to see whether the
constructor actually supports destructing a partially
constructed object.

So I guess you're saying you also use "= void" as default
initializer for some things. Otherwise, it's already a
requirement that all default-initialized things should be
destructible...
Yeah, I do agree that these kinds of things are not very well
supported by D. I do not agree that it means the language is
doomed (from a techincal standpoint, at least). Moving in a more
Java-esque direction ("Fast like C++ but with good GC" (so, in
reality, slower than C++ but faster than JVM)) would be a
reasonable strategy for D. Seems like it's not going to happen,
though.
