Most of the time, default initialization is what you want, and it
doesn't cause any problems. So I think having default
initialization by default but allowing the programmer to opt out
is probably the right way to handle this.
Currently, D allows you to `@disable this()` for user-defined
types, but it doesn't give you any way to opt out of `T.init`.
This is something that should be improved. If disabling `T.init`
entirely is too disruptive, there should at least be a way to
make `T.init` accessible only in `@system` code.
