No. The uninitialized ones get their .init values.

That already works with structs. You don't need to define any 
constructor if the type is simple data i.e. if you don't want to set any 
invariants, just construct with whatever is available at that moment:

     auto a = new S("hello");

However, if it is important that someother_var should not remain as an 
empty array, then you better define a constructor and demand both values 
when constructing.
