This is ill-advised. Objects may hold pointers to their own
submembers. If you assign without adjusting, those internal
pointers will point to the anonymous object, not to A.
There are reasons for doing assignment like this in Ada (or
at least I think so - I don't really know Ada), but the C++
assignment operator model is much cleaner.
