I expect that pretty much anything you propose that requires

it's actually quite trivial to use a const or immutable member
variable before it's initialized).
Honestly, this is not that hard. It's very hard in DMD because it
doesn't go through an SSA like form at any point. It's rather
disappointing to see the language spec being decided upon based
on design decision made in a compiler many years ago.
