I really don't think that's a problem. If anything, the default value should
NOT be destroyed in the constructor. After all, it hasn't really even been
initialized yet.

If anything, that's exactly how "aggregate construction" works: postblit each
value over the current fields, but DON'T destroy the fields:

//--------
import std.stdio;

struct Inner
{
    int i;
    this(this){} //Postblit implies destruction of this.
    ~this()
    {
        writeln(i);
    }
}

struct Outer
{
    Inner inner = Inner(1);    // <-- compile-time .init
}

void main()
{
    auto inner = Inner(2);
    {
        writeln("****");
        auto outer = Outer(inner); // Overwrite with postblit, but don't call
destructor.
        writeln("****");
    }
    {
        writeln("****");
        auto outer = Outer(inner); // Overwrite with postblit, but don't call
destructor.
        outer.inner = inner;       // Call postblit, destroying previous state.
        writeln("****");
    }
}
//--------
****
**** //Notice no destroyer called here
2    //This is outer's destroyer destroying its inner
****
2    //This is our second blit.
****
2    //This is out second outer destroyer's destroying its inner
2    //This is our inner's destroyer
//--------

So yeah, my conclusion is: destroyers are not a problem to this proposal.
