That's sad. The question should rather have been: what do I do to use 
member structs that have default constructors disabled? Initially I 
thought that the compiler would treat the first assignment in the 
constructor specially as initializer. The error message "Error: 
constructor test.C.this field s must be initialized in constructor" 
suggested that. I was wrong.

So you completely disallowed runtime initialization of globals and 
members that have default constructors disabled? To me it looks like 
another feature that is a simple solution unusable in practice.
