Nonono, you overthink it

Store last anonamous struct

When you see a field without a type, you assign it with that 
anonymous struct

D people love to complicate everything

Keep things simple and solve people's problem

Stop trying to write essays about simple stuff

ALl the languages have solved this, D will now have move 
constructor lol, yet can't do basics well
