 Capturing is not allowed for parameters that have ref-like type, and capturing is not allowed for `ref`, `in` or `out` parameters. This is similar to a limitation for capturing in lambdas. 
 
+There are circumstances in which constructors do not run. (For example, `default(StructType)` will produce an instance of `StructType` without running any of its constructors.) Section [§9.2.5](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/language-specification/variables#925-value-parameters) of the C# spec states that constructor parameters do not come into existence until the constructor is invoked. If a primary constructor parameter is captured in such a scenario, this would mean that the member causing its capture would be using a variable that does not exist. To avoid this, we assert that in cases where an instance of a type with a primary constructor was created through a mechanism that bypasses that constructor, all captured parameters come into existence when the instance is created, and are all initialized with the default value for their type.

 If a primary constructor parameter is only referenced from within instance member initializers, those can directly reference the parameter of the generated constructor, as they are executed as part of it.
 
 Primary Constructor will do the following sequence of operations:
