This program comes from a reduction of a bug I've found:

struct Foo {
     void init() {}

void main() {
     Foo*[] foos;

     foos[0].init(); // Error: function expected before (), not null of type 
Foo*
}


What do you think about the idea of not allowing methods named init() in 
structs? (Especially if they are a @property). Or maybe there is a better 
solution, opinions welcome.

FWIW I've encountered this thingy while messing with phobos std.file 
around a year ago. Still allowed and mishandled it seems.
