I can initialize a struct with named values:

struct Foo {
int i, j, k, l, m, n;

Foo f = {k: 12}; // other fields get default initialization

I can initialize it with call syntax:
---
auto f = Foo(0, 0, 12, 0, 0, 0); // works

The bottom syntax is a struct literal, the top one is not.
Ideally, I want something that lets you specify only the fields
you care about and won't have to be modified (just recompiled)
if I add more fields. I also want something inline.
Is there anything I can use here that's better than what I have?
AFAIK, your only option is to use a struct constructor. This is
the sort of thing they're used for.
