Enhancement works for me.

Yes. That is very good behavior, thank you.

I think these mostly asked for the ability to initialized the same variable
multiple times (which I also think is wrong).

I'm asking for the compiler to try to view static arrays as a aggregate of
values:
You can either initialize the entire array at once (in which case, the entire
array would be considered initialized, as well as each member), or each element
at once, in which case each element would be initialized individually 1 by 1.

Use cases:

this(int)
{
        value[0] = s; //init
        value[1] = s; //init

        value[0] = s; //assign
}

this(int)
{
        value = s; //init all
        value[0] = s; //assign
}

this(int)
{
        value[0] = s; //init

        //value already written to
        value = s; //assign to all
        value[1] = s; //assign
}
