Hmm. I was sure that it was, but I just tried it, and it won't compile. I'm 
confused now. I never use that style though - even with no arguments to the 
constructor - so that the type's static opCall will be used instead of its 
init value if it has one. e.g.

auto a = A();

instead of

A a;

So, it's not something that I would ever have tried anyway. But I guess that 
it was either changed ot some point, or I misremembered about it being legal.
