Both are semantically equivalent. The first version is about 
knowing how the language works, the second is about being stupid. 
D policy about default initializers is really to create clear 
poison value. You still have "void initialization" if you want to 
introduce UBs.

```d
int b = void;
writeln(b);
```

that is more what should get the compiler attention.
