Old bug/misdesign inherited from old D before there were struct 
constructors. It really should be the rest of the way fixed, but 
non-static and static methods, including opCall, are still not 
properly distinguished by the D language.

Type.staticFunction(); // compiles, used to be done to kinda 
mimic constructors before they were there

obj.staticFunction(); // also compiles, which means a change at 
this point would be a breaking change
