No doubt, though I would argue this is one specific case the compiler could
catch and issue an error on (attempt to initialize object variable with
non-object).  

Either that or rewrite 'Class var = 42' as 'Class var = (new Class) = 42' such
that it works with any class defining a default constructor.  I'm not saying
I'm fond of that idea (not entirely fond of opAssign at all) but it would seem
a natural enough evolution.
