Here's how to use it for making BigInt arrays:

	void main() {
		BigInt[] arr = mixin(structArray!BigInt(
			`"12345678901234567890"`,
			`"4294967296000"`,
			`"1000000000000000000000000000000000"`,
			`"1203004000500006000007000000800000009"`,
		));

		writeln(arr);
	}

It works for any kind of struct with ctors. Should be trivially
extendible to array of class objects. Some improvement in usage syntax
is probably possible, too, but I'll leave it up to the CTFE experts here
to figure that out. ;-)
