Why can't we derive struct's?

A use case that pops in my head is to avoiding using inheritance 
as that is not always ideal tool, when it comes to structs/class 
as you have no control on how it does implicit conversions.
No Basic Event programming.
No Design by Introspection.
No Data Conversion in Regards to Passing Member Variables.
You class/struct may end up with functions/variables that you 
don't want, which creates needless bloat.
If you want to support multiple implicit conversion with the 
current features, then you need multiple alias this, which is not 
a good solution as
A.) It is multiple inheritance. Which we both agree it is a 
terrible idea.
B.) Multi alias this still hasn't been implemented already.
