The reference page on structs http://dlang.org/struct.html does 
not appear to contain the word 'stack' at all. It seems to me 
placing structs on the stack would only be important when 
interfacing with C, but I don't think it would matter otherwise; 
as long as the destructor is called when the struct goes out of 
scope, why should the memory location make any difference?

Language semantics should stick to defining what should happen, 
not how it should happen.
