The class error message is generated in the front-end. The struct error message
is generated in the glue layer. Apart from the diagnostic issue, the error
should really be generated in the front-end.

Having it in the glue layer creates problems for CTFE. The following example
errors with "variable x is used before initialization" which is nonsense.

struct BadError
{
    double x = 2.0;
    static int comparex()
    {
        return (this.x <= 3.0);
    }
}

static assert({  BadError z; z.comparex(); return true; }());
