I oppose this. D has a lot of nice features because of the .init

Default constructors wreck that.
So much great feature like :
- null all over the place.
- Having NUllable and NonNullable in phobos. BTW, NonNullable is
unable to
ensure that it if effectively non nullable.
- Having to check for .init state all over the place (which have a
runtime
cost, in addition to be error prone). RefCounted implementation is
emblematic of
that.
What default would you use for non-null pointers?
Damnit, I thought we'd gotten through to you. non-null pointers have no
default, and it is a compile-time error not to initialize them.
This is what I call the "low potential energy mental block". Very hard
to get out of.
