Lots of languages do not even have classes. Lots of languages do 
not even have functions. Lots of languages are... assembler.

In the beginning, C++ programs had very few bugs. Then, real 
coding in C++ happened. BTW, DMD (not phobos) source is C++ 
(https://github.com/D-Programming-Language/dmd/blob/master/src/arrayop.c), 
not D.

Yes... And if you define:
struct var *p2=new_from_data(p1->a, p1->b, p1->c);
then you have a copy constructor... Straight, isn't?
