Reset class member variables

Hi,

I have some big classes with lots of member variables
that need to be reset to theire initial value.
Therefore I thought about a more reliable way to
accomplish this, because it's hard to keep track
of variables I have added.
It also looks bloated to assign all values manually.

class Foo
{
	uint x;
	char[] name = "world";
//problematic:
	const uint y;
	char[1024] buffer;
	
	void reset()
	{
		scope tmp = new typeof(this);
		foreach(i, x;  tmp.tupleof)
		{
			this.tupleof[i] = x;
		}
	}
}

The problem is that I have to avoid
to try to set const values and static arrays.

How can this be done?
