I for one would like it!

It's much closer to C++. It hides the "new" and eventually might even be 
changed to allocate memory using the stack instead of the heap. It will 
be incompatible with static opCall (which I find hackish anyway) so 
people will probably ask for a way to add constructors to structs.
