digitalmars.D - named field struct initialization

At the risk of being too persistent, curious as to the reason for 
disdain for named field initialization syntax and talk of its 
deprecation.

- does it cause problems?
- is it on the chopping block?
- is this the best way to find out the status of a specific issue 
like this?

This was originally asked in the learn forum. I see benefits to

Any insights as to where this feature is going are appreciated.

Thanks,
