How about struct initializers syntax? I don't know what are you planning to do
with it, Lars proposed to use curly braces. This can interfere (a little) with
template instantiation syntax.

Yeah, dropping the q{} stuff opens the way to initialize struct using  
StructName{ ... } syntax:

Funny thing is the argument with conflicting with q{} was used extensively
during that 
discussion, now it's somehow become a non issue.
