This does make sense.  Not having the ctor be an attribute (or the struct  
itself) is an easily-worked around limitation (just create a factory  
function).  It would make sense that you should be able to call a ctor  
just as well as you can call a function, and not have to create a stub  
function that simply calls the ctor.
