Well....

Yeah. You would get a reference to a struct. The struct will be on the 
heap. In that narrow sense, you are right that it is possible.

However, this does not behave like a normal struct. In particular, when 
will the destructor be called? (answer: never, not even before the 
memory is collected).

So, no, I think D experts should avoid telling newbies it is okay to 
just "new struct foo".[1]

1 - The counter argument is, of course, that struct destructors should 
not be counted upon to do anything useful anyways, as they are far from 
guaranteed to run even in situations where one would expect them to. 
This just relates to another area where D skirts truth in advertising 
when people say that D supports RAII.
