You want syntactic sugar for two things:

// example 1
void foo ()
{
	static S s;
	static bool s_initialized = false;
	if (!s_initialized)
	{
		s_initialized = true;
		s = S(8);
	}
}

// example 2
// module/class level
S s;
static this ()
{
	s = S(8);
}


Neither of these need to happen at compile time.
