Sure, I completely agree, thus the idea adding of CTFE-able 
constructor which will become the T.init for structs.

No it is not. It never worked before because it was simply 
broken. Now it works properly from the point of spec, but it is 
inconsistent from the point of language design:

int x = 5; // can you tell without looking at scope if it really 
initializes x or just defines .init for aggregate?

Initializer syntax does not really make sense for non-static 
aggregate members at all, mutable or not.
