Why should we be restricted to only structs? Or any type for that matter?
A restriction to only structs is not a restriction because structs can have arbitrary field types.
The benefit to using CTFE functions is that the compiler already knows how to deal with them at compile-time. i.e. less work to make the compiler implement this.
It is exactly the same amount of work because CTFE is able to execute struct constructors.
