I guess in D you would do something like this:
mixin template Rectangular() {
  Point x, y;
}

mixin Rectangular;

struct Rectangle {
  mixin Rectangular;
}

It's easier than that:

struct Rectangular {
    Point x,y;
}

struct Rectangular {
    Rectangle rectangle;
    alias this rectangle;
}

D is always full of surprises ;-). Now the only feature in Go 
that sets it apart from other languages is CSP.

I got this to work with help from the book by Ali Çehreli:

struct Point {
    int x,y;
}

struct Rectangular {
    Point x,y;
}

struct Rectangle  {
    Rectangular rectangular;
        
    Rectangular rect() const {
        return rectangular;
    }
        
    alias rect this;
}

void main(string[] args)
{
        Rectangle rectangle = Rectangle();
        rectangle.x = Point();
}
