Docs are wrong here. `static opCall` was never intended to be 
used as constructor and I consider it a bad style in general. 
This is simply a workaround that people unhappy with lack of 
default struct constructor used but language actively resists 
such misusage (`auto s = new S(42)` won't work too btw) and it 
only causes confusion.
