Someone should seriously come up with a way of eliminating the repeated
type name in default parameters.  It's a constant fly in my otherwise
tasty soup of D.  Every time I have to type that I think about how nice
it would be if we could just write

	void someFunction(Options option = .init) {...}

and be done with it.  Or else:

	void someFunction(auto options = Options.init) {}

though this is not as good because the `auto` may make it hard to parse
function declarations.
