--- Comment #2 from davidsp@fb.com ---
We either should forbid a method named init (or any other valid type properties) or require and explizit "override".

This isn't related to only structs, e.g.:

class A
{
  void init() {}
}

void t(T)()
{
  auto x = T.init;
}

int main(string[] args)
{
  t!A();
}

-> test.d(10): Error: need 'this' for 'init' of type 'void()'.

The bug is more: "Don't allow shadowing of type properties".

There's simply no value to this. If you want a constructor, write a constructor. Overriding "T.init" is always an error, and should be reported as one by the compiler.
