We could (after all, C++ does it). There are a few disadvantages to
doing so, however.
1. Defining static data is more difficult. Currently, all static data is
statically-initialized. With default constructors, we'd need to define
the pre-construction state of such objects anyway, and then change the
compiler to call constructors prior to main(). I find the current design
simpler and easier to use.
CTFE is probably the answer here.
But not all functions are CTFE-able, so it's not a solution in all cases.
