I think the new behaviour is a misfeature, and nothing more. It makes no
sense to store a value in each struct, when the value is exactly the
same every time.

Consider:

struct A
{
const int x = 7;
this(int y) { x = y; }
}

I think that should not be allowed, because x is const and is being
initialized twice.

There's a default and there's an explicit initializer. We could disallow that but it wouldn't be terribly sensible.

I believe it was disallowed in earlier D2 versions. If I saw such code in a project, I'd find it awfully suspect, not sensible.
