The problem with the C++ form is that it's semantically identical to a 
function prototype statement.  I do think it would be great if there 
were a common syntax to construct all types in D, but I'm not sure if "X 
x(a)" is it.  "X x = X(a)" is probably better.  But I'd like this to 
work for concrete types as well.
