What's wrong with:

That looks like a perfectly good copy constructor declaration ;) I'm
just saying, the DIP needs to explain this.
That is actually a valid constructor, according to today's compiler. There
might be code out there that uses this syntax for the constructor and
overnight
it will be turned into a copy constructor.
I agree that the current syntax is lacking. This was Andrei's proposition
and I was initially against it, but he said to put it in the DIP so that
we can discuss it as a community. Maybe this syntax is better:
@this(ref S a another)
It looks like the c++ copy constructor but the `@` makes it different from
a constructor, so we're good. What do you think?
We will not add syntax if we can help it.
