It is amazing indeed. We should make this a standard library artifact.

Tangentially related: since when we allow field initialization with new? 
I was surprised to see that this works:

struct A {
	int[] x = new int[10];
}

void main() {
	import std.stdio;
	A a;
	writeln(a.x);
}

After all that talk about default constructors that don't do anything, 
it's ironic I didn't know about this language change :o).
