What std.container has is make, which is supposed to construct a type where it goes by default (classes on the heap with new, and structs on the stack). The idea is definitely useful, and I have a pull request to improve upon it: https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/phobos/pull/756 But I don't think that I've ever seen anyone use std.container.make either. The new version will be more useful though (particularly, since it'll work on more than just structs and classes). - Jonathan M Davis
