eh the initializer i think is the best. you can sometimes 
shortcut it

pragma(msg, (new A).i);

which will call the ctor at ctfe and get the value. but if there 
isn't a default constructor that's harder. (of course at runtime 
you can yank it out of the init member... but ctfe will fail that 
i believe because of the reinterpret cast involved).

i can't think of a better way right now.
