Maybe for the same reason structs can be passed as function parameters
and be returned as results even when some member objects do not have
direct assignment support (arrays and strings for example).

C-90 (maybe C-89 if they're quick) did define a lot more new practices
than is admitted by Doug Gwyn.  C-0x will define many more.  C-0x will
be called C, not D; just as C-90 is still called C.  So this newsgroup
is in fact an appropriate place for this kind of discussion.
