Currently, postblit can be invoked manually on a struct object using obj.__postblit();. However, this is not documented. There should be a documented way to invoke postblit. I.e. either add __postblit to the language specification (together with __ctor, __dtor) or add a suitable library function.

Considering one needs to recursively invoke __postblit(), I vote for a "suitable library function".

This has been documented: https://dlang.org/spec/struct.html#struct-postblit
