Why can't I inherit (extend) structs?

I like the definition of 'struct' in D: simple aggregations of data. But 
is there currently a way to extend a struct? Apart from composition, 
that is. I'd like to do something like this:

struct X {
   int x;
}
	
struct Z : X {
   int z;
}

Would this feature add complications that I fail to see?

It's not a big deal, since I can use composition, but I'll have to name 
a member for the first struct and repeatedly write it.. And I'm lazy :S
