I use it for namespaces.

struct Foo {
   @disable this();
   @disable this( this );

   private static {
      // members
   }

   public static {
      // methods
   }
}

Ideally, I'd love for the compiler to pick up on this idiom and not generate any typeinfo in this situation.

For such namespaces I use final abstract classes:

final abstract class Foo {
static:
    // members
}
