          Issue ID: 23436
           Summary: Spec falsely states mutable references in struct .init
                    are forbidden

The section of the language spec on default struct initialization [1] contains
the following statement:

> The default initializers may not contain references to mutable data.

However, this statement is false. References to mutable data are allowed in
default initializers of struct fields, and have been since at least DMD 2.060
(the oldest compiler available on run.dlang.io).
