           Summary: static struct initializer accepted as non static
                    initializer

            Status: NEW
          Keywords: accepts-invalid
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2

D has different syntax for static struct initializers and struct literals.
several threads on the NG has been about this and there are enhancement
requests on this tracker as well...

dmd currently accepts the invalid code:

module structinitbug;
struct S {
        void* ptr;
}
void main() {
        S s = {null};
}

it seems that there are several issues surrounding initializers lately...

I found this due to it actually being used in Tango (xml.Document) and LLVMDC
not handling it properly.
