You can use a different default initializer:
ℤ num = 0, den = 1;
Thus avoiding the bad denominator.
I appreciate the help, but I cannot instantiate these variables
with a constructor.
Whenever I do, the compiler tries to figure out its values at
compile-time.
This it cannot do however, since the code requires gmp_init for
constructing an explicit value, which is only available after
dynamically linking GMP.
Here is the error I get:
source/gmp/z.d(117): Error: __gmpz_init_set_si cannot be
interpreted at compile time, because it has no available source
code
source/util.d(575): called from here:
_MpZ(__mpz_struct(0, 0, null)).this(0)

I don't really know what to do now, since I have another struct
which already uses static variables with the same naming
convention and I'll also need it a second time when I write the
bindings to MPFR.
