I'd say do it and make it @deprecated ... in general, I think 
allowing a "struct like constructor" for a class is bad style (at 
least for std, anyway) and should be discouraged, but deprecating 
it makes it an easy upgrade initially and will make it easier for 
people to compare the old vs new way with their code.
