I also see it more as an idiom, than a pattern.
Can you look into https://github.com/rust-unofficial/patterns/blob/main/src/idioms/ctor.md and see what you would want to add there?
Also, there is something written down about that topic here already:
P.S.: Before writing an article and making a PR it's always better to open an issue/discussion before as stated in our Contribution guidelines, so there is no energy being wasted on either side.

I find that many Rustaceans, even people using the language for a while are oblibious of this pattern/idiom. Especially people coming from other languages. So I though rather than adding it as a "footnote" somehere on an existing page, I make a dedicated one.
Today I ran into this again here. I would say overall I ran into people with considerable Rust experience being unaware of this maybe half a dozen times last year.
That's why I decided to write this. But it only took me 20mins. So if the PR is rejected, it's not a biggie. :grin:
