           Summary: Slot is allocated before evaluating the value during
                    associative array initialization

//////////////////// test.d ////////////////////
class C
{
    int[int] aa;

    this()
    {
        try
        {
            aa[42] = {
                if (true)
                    throw new Exception("oops");
                else
                    return 9;
            }();
        }
        catch (Exception e) {}
    }
}

void main()
{
    auto c = new C;
    assert(c.aa.length == 0);
}
////////////////////////////////////////////////

This allows obtaining default-initialized objects with `@disable this()`.

The order of operations needs to be changed. The value to be assigned to the AA must be evaluated first, and only then a slot should be allocated for the value to be moved into.

Another example which illustrates the problem:

//////////// test.d ///////////
final class C
{
    int[int] aa;

    this()
    {
        aa[42] = getValue();
    }

    int getValue()
    {
        assert(aa.length == 0);
        return 0;
    }
}

void main()
{
    auto c = new C;
}
