What's the point of using Rebindable for a non-[class|interface]
type? They are the only type where it makes sense, since you
can't give different qualifiers to the handler and the object.
I'm surprised it even handles arrays at all. As a matter of fact,
the documentation says:
"However, Rebindable!(T) does not compile if T is a non-class
type."
If arrays worked, I think it was buggy behavior. There's no sense
in having a Rebindable array.
