I don't know the answer to that. The {} initializers always seemed out 
of place to me. I assumed they had to be supported to copy+paste C code 
to D and it should mostly work.

One benefit of the {} initializer is being able use named initializers:

struct S {
   int a;
   int b;
}

void main() {
   S s = { b : 2, a : 1 };
}

I still think it's out of place. :)

I think that syntax will be obviated when D will have named arguments.
