I hope that will happen, but so far it hasn't. They are still in the spec.

They are documented in D2, in struct.html. It says:

"The static initializer syntax can also be used to initialize non-static
variables, provided that the member names are not given. The initializer need
not be evaluatable at compile time."

But in DMD, ever since CTFE was introduced, it must be evaluatable at compile
time. The implementation is also full of bugs. For example, see bug 3271.
