Another option may be to extend "static initialization" syntax:
---
struct S { int i; double d; }
union U { int i; double d; }
void f(T)(T){}

void main()
{
    S s = { d: 5 }; // OK
    U u = { d: 5 }; // NG because of Issue 7727

    // Original suggestion:
    f(S( d: 5 )); // yes, let's not separate structs and unions
    f(U( d: 5 ));

    // Another option:
    f(cast(S) { d: 5 });
    f(cast(U) { d: 5 });
}
---

I'd like to require a `cast` even if the argument type is known.

And about original suggestion:
Having naming arguments in D (not only in this case) looks like a good idea
allowing one another coding style.
