If this is for a DSL, can't you make it so situations that lower 
to default construction use a function initializer? It would be 
completely opaque from the user's perspective. I don't think 
language details should ever be relevant to a DSL; it seems to me 
that you should always be able to work around it.

Sorry if this is impractical, I haven't read the thread super 
closely.
