Sorry but this is just completely wrong. RAII is all about me NOT 
having to call special functions all over the place.

struct S
{
     this() { /* initialize */ }
}

S[123] myArray; // hooray, no need to invoke a factory in a loop

struct Container
{
     S s;
     // hooray, implicit this() automatically calls s.this()
}
