You know how you can have an expression for a built-in type like color?
foo = color(1,1,1)
or
void func (color c) { ...}
func (color(1,1,1);
It was really awkward to do this with structs.
So with this patch, for every struct, you can construct it by name
with a function-call-like syntax, where the arguments must be the same
types as the data members of the struct, in order.
For example:
struct RGBA {
color rgb;
float a;
};
RGBA x = RGBA(color(1,1,1), 1);
void func (RGBA x) { ... }
func (RGBA(Cblah,alpha));
You don't need to explicitly declare the constructor like in C++, it
just exists.
