I agree it would be more consistent that way, for value types.

void f(T)(T v)
{
   auto x = new T(v); // what if T is a class, array, static array etc?
}

A search of my own code doesn't come up with any instances of allocating a
single value type like this.
Searching phobos gives two instances, both in unittests.

If it's not used very often, what's the point of adding syntax for it?

Just saying.
