           Summary: Documentation for creating a class on the stack is
                    unintuitive

When I first read the spec on creating a class on the stack, I thought the 3rd rule meant that I could not instantiate a stack class with parameters to the constructor.  After asking the question to digitalmars.D.learn, I have learned that it means the new function cannot have parameters.

Since almost everyone does not use new parameters, and usually uses constructor parameters, it would be good to clarify that the rule specifically means new parameters and not constructor parameters.  e.g.:

  * use new with no arguments (constructor arguments are allowed)

And it would be even clearer if there were more examples:

class C { ... }

scope c = new C();      // c is allocated on the stack
scope c2 = new C(5);    // allocated on stack
scope c3 = new(5) C();  // allocated by a custom allocator
