✅ Does C# have anonymous struct initializers for class fields?
Hey, I'm new to C#. I have been refactoring the code I wrote so it looks cleaner. I have something like this: 
struct GeneralConfig(bool log, bool enabled) {
  public bool Log = log;
  public bool Enabled = enabled;
}

class Config(bool log) {
  public GeneralConfig General = new GeneralConfig (log, true);
// ...
}
struct GeneralConfig(bool log, bool enabled) {
  public bool Log = log;
  public bool Enabled = enabled;
}

class Config(bool log) {
  public GeneralConfig General = new GeneralConfig (log, true);
// ...
}
The code works but it has quite a bit of boilerplate, I was wondering if it's possible to declare the structure and initial values at the field definition. Something like: 
class Config(bool log) {
  public struct General = new {
    public bool Log = log;
    public bool Enabled = true;
  }
}
class Config(bool log) {
  public struct General = new {
    public bool Log = log;
    public bool Enabled = true;
  }
}
The above is invalid syntax, it's just to provide an idea of what I mean. Thank you!
