I'll note that fixing this bug is more difficult than it might seem,
particularly when immutable members and immutable constructors come into
play.

Some flow control is needed. At start each member variable of the object
starts in a "raw" state. The constructor code progressively assigns to
members, putting them in a "cooked" state.

Although the syntax looks like assignment, the constructors should be
called for struct members.

A "cooked" member cannot be assigned to again.

No function call that takes this (including members) is allowed until
all members have become "cooked".

If the constructor was const or immutable, the object effectively
becomes const or immutable exactly at the point all members are
"cooked". At that point in the constructor, the object or its members
can be passed to functions.
