yeah i wrote about it here not long ago

excerpt:

"See, the idea behind D's initialization is it catches 
uninitialized values at runtime. Null pointers crash. NaN floats 
give NaN results. \ff chars give invalid strings.

The problem is it sets the initializer for int (and friends) to 
be 0. Which is actually pretty useful and convenient, so people 
rely on it. Now making uninitialized things an error is 
infeasible and the fact is it sets a habit to expect 0."

so i think it should be changed. but floats and chars are all 
weird initialized so be aware of it
