Reproducible only on MAC. Requires 2 "library" files, and a "client" file.

We'll call the library "foo":

//-----
//foo/traits.d
module foo.traits;

template lvalueInit(T)
{
    static lvalueInit = immutable(T).init;
}
//-----

//-----
//foo/file.d
module foo.file;

import foo.traits;

struct Impl
{

}

struct F
{
    Impl i;
    this(int)
    {
        i = lvalueInit!Impl;
    }
}
//-----

That's it for the "library".
We compile it as such:

dmd -lib foo/traits.d foo/file.d -ofmylib

>From there, create a simple main.d:
//-----
//main.d
module main;

import foo.file;

void main()
{
    auto f = F(5);
}
//-----

Then build...
dmd mylib.a -run main.d
