Tangential to your discussion: this needs to be allowed, because
this removes one unnecessary special case/limit, avoiding the
need to write some stupid boilerplate constructor code (I have
written tons of those):
struct Foo {
int x, y;
}
void main() {
auto f = new Foo(5, 10);
}
The currently usable workaround is silly in a language like D:
struct Foo {
int x, y;
}
void main() {
auto f = new Foo;
*f = Foo(5, 10);
}
