Really? We can catch (or, should be able to) missing initialization
of stuff with @disable this(), but not floats?

Classes have constructors, which lend themselves perfectly to doing
exactly this (just pretend the member is a local variable).

Perhaps there are problems with structs without disabled default
constructors, but even those are trivially solvable by requiring
a default value at declaration time.
