D - static initialization of structs and using ':'

Greetings...

C99 (and gnu for a while) implemented this using '='
not ':'.  I.e.

struct X { int a; int b; };

static X x = { a = 1, b = 2 };

I don't care for C99's use of the '.' before the
field name; D's syntax is much cleaner.

Regards,

I just liked the look of the : better.
