enum of struct not calling constructor

Example 1:
import std.stdio;
enum WindowSizes : QSize
{
Minimum = QSize(10)
}
struct QSize
{
int store;
this(int x)
{
store = x + 10;
}
}
void main()
{
auto foo = WindowSizes.Minimum;
assert(foo.store == 10); // What?
auto bar = QSize(10);
assert(bar.store == 20);
}
It appears the constructor is never called for the enum. It does field by field assignments instead, just take a look at this case:
import std.stdio;
enum WindowSizes : Inverted
{
Minimum = Inverted(10, 20)
}
struct Inverted
{
int x;
int y;
this(int in_x, int in_y)
{
x = in_y;
y = in_x;
}
}
void main()
{
auto foo = WindowSizes.Minimum;
assert(foo.x == 10);
assert(foo.y == 20);
auto bar = Inverted(10, 20);
assert(bar.x == 20);
assert(bar.y == 10);
}
As can be seen, this could be a potential source of bugs. Should I file it?
