Adding dummy arguments is unecessary. Just use the type system:

struct Person {
     this(FirstName firstName, LastName lastName) { /* ... */ }
}

struct FirstName { string value; }
struct LastName  { string value; }


C++ even has two libraries to do this, but D doesn't need that 
given that structs in D are much more useful (no need to write a 
constructor).
