For what it's worth, this combination compiles:

/* returns immutable(T) but 'this' is inout */
     @property
         immutable(T) get() inout pure nothrow {
         return this._val;
     }

     alias get this;

/* ... */

void foo(immutable A a)
{}

void main() {
     Unique!(A) uni = new A();
     foo(uni);
}
