- stack allocation for auto classes
- ITI for function templates
- implicit ctors for fundamental types, e.g.: int* i = new int(10);
- ctors for structs to get rid of having to use static opCall().
- Fix this issue:

The last 2 are for cases like:

template mypow(F) {
    F mypow(F x, int i) {
        if(i < 1) return F(1); // here
        if(i & 1) if(i == 1) return x; else return x * mypow(x,i-1);
        return sqr!(F)(mypow(x,i/2));
    }
}
