I know there's alias this, but what if you don't store the value directly?
struct A
{
	int store;

	this(int a)
	{
		store = a << 16;
		...
	}
}

A a = 5;

	this(int a)

A a = 5; // Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (5) of type int to

void main()

No.

 import std.stdio;
 struct A
 {
 	int store;

 	this(int a)
 	{
 		store = a << 3;
 		//...
 	}
 }

// A a = 5; // Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (5) of type int  
to A

void foo(A a)
{
}

 void main()
 {
 	A a = 5; // fine
 	writeln(a.store); // prints 40

	foo(5); // Error: cannot implicitly convert expression (5) of type int to  
A

 }

kk.

struct A{
     struct S{A opAssign(int rhs){return *(cast(A*)&this)=A(rhs);}}
     union{
         struct{ // members
             int store;
         }
         S _x;   // dummy struct
     }
     this(int a) {
         store = a << 16;
         //...
     }
     alias _x this;
}

void main(){
     A x;
     x = 2;
     assert(x.store == 2 << 16);
}

Does not work though.

NVM, I misunderstood the issue (I thought there were never implicit 
constructors. If there were not, my program would implement them.)
