```d

main(){

     string name;
     string surname;
   }

   void create(PersonDTO personData){
    // ...
   }
   create( {name: "Peter", surname: "Ustinov"} );

}

```

-Is it there any alternative to initialize "inline" de struct 
(using the name:value syntax for the properties) without 
declaring an intermediate variable?

Thanks

I see now:  DIP 1033 will solve this (i.e., using named arguments 
in struct constructor...  similar to how dart/flutter works)

That would be DIP 1030:

Max Haughton was working on an implementation of it, but ran into 
trouble with template parameters, IIRC.
