struct init() method

[bearophile]

This program comes from a reduction of a bug I've found:


struct Foo {
    void init() {}
}
void main() {
    Foo*[] foos;
    //(*foos[0]).init(); // OK
    foos[0].init(); // Error: function expected before (), not null of type Foo*
}


What do you think about the idea of not allowing methods named init() in structs? (Especially if they are a @property). Or maybe there is a better solution, opinions welcome.
