This is the place where an editor could greatly improve 
productivity.
Writing the parameterized instantiation of `enum option = 
Option(foo: true, bar: 5 ..);` and just being able to press a 
hotkey in a code editor and have the type automagically generated 
for you would nullify this benefit and at thesame time giving you 
all benefits of a struct.
It even allows you to later add in some specific kind of 
initialization of these variables whitout much hastle.

This is something i really miss in D. :/
