The syntax was inherited from C. The 'special place' is called initialization, and it's special because the target type of the initializer is known in advance
This is no different from `S fun(){ return { 5, 2 }; }` It creates a new instance of a struct, and the type is known in advance (it's the return type). So it's not an expression. But this place of initialization is not allowed. Therefor I think calling `S s = { 5, 2 };` 'special' is justified.
