I found it surprising or unintuitive that the !() is required, and I do want to know what is the reasoning behind it

I don't know whether the language could be changed to support code like:

struct Foo(){}
Foo foo;

but doing that certainly would introduce some ambiguities. For example, consider this line:

alias Foo Bar;

Should Bar be a template or an instance of a template here?

OK, now it makes sense, I figured there had to be a reason for the !(). Thanks for letting me know.
