There's a big difference between int and struct: the latter is an
aggregate that may have member functions that have side effects.
For example:
```d
getTemporary().doSomethingWithSideEffects();
```
That's a valid pattern. You might then say that's a different
case than the assignment in your example, but `opAssign` for a
struct can be overridden.
