No. I think that he meant that he doesn't know what purpose

@disable enum init = 0;

serves given that

@disable this();

already disables the init property. The fact that you're able to override init 
is a separate, albeit related issue. But yes, it should be disallowed to 
declare any symbol as a member of a struct or class with the name init.
