I can imagine how to do that in assembly. Its not possible in C/C++
Can you do that in D currently? Presumably the syntax would be:

foo(inout valueType bar);

In C++ that would have to be done with pass by reference.
But this is well off topic, it has nothing to do with constness of value  
types.
