struct
{
  int a;
}

auto s1 = S(2); // works
auto s2 = new S(2); // doesn't work

----------

New with struct strictly requires a defined constructor while
it should have the same construction rules as a normal struct literal.

Despite this looks like a silent little change, this is a significant improvement in D, and it's one of the best improvements for DMD 2.061. This removes some useless code from my D2 code base.

This is not yet allowed to remove some more boilerplate code (the "new"):


struct Node(T) {
    T data;
    Node* left, right;
}
void main() {
    alias N = Node!int;
    auto t1 = new N(1, new N(2, new N(3))); // OK
    alias M = Node!int.__ctor; // Not OK
    auto t2 = M(1, M(2, M(3)));
}

This is completely unrelated to this issue.
Ideally __ctor should not appear in user code, and language specification would
never support it.
