I desperately tried to make `this(S)` a move constructor. I could not find a way 
that did not break existing code and/or require some rather horrific changes to 
the complicated logic in the compiler.

I explained this earlier - the compiler cannot determine if `this(S)` is a move 
constructor or not until after semantic analysis. But it needs to know it before 
semantic analysis. And so the carousel of troubles spins up.

Having a distinct syntax simplifies things enormously.
