I am sorry if I missed something, but how do I initialize a struct object
element from a call to Foo()? I believe default constructors are not allowed
for structs.

Say:

class Bar {}

struct Foo {
  Bar bar;  // bar is not static

  static Foo opCall() {
     // I want to return a Foo object with bar initialized
     // How can I achieve that??
  }

  this() { // Does not compile
    bar = new Bar();
  }
}
