The .init and .stringof properties of types can be redefined. A lot of code
depends on the definition of .init, so being able to change this breaks a lot
of Phobos.

class Foo
{
    static immutable int init;
    static immutable int stringof;
}

int x = Foo.init;
int y = Foo.stringof;


DMD should give an error just like it does for .sizeof, .alignof, and .mangleof

They're actually supposed to be overridable at the moment. I had thought there
might be a use for this, but so far none have materialized.

But to change it is an enhancement request.
