Thanks for the reference, but to me, rebindable feels like a hack.  My 
opinion is that D deserves to have such an integral feature as mutable 
references to const object data structures baked into the language with 
a standard syntax, rather than added on using templates in an imported 
module.

That a rebindable template can implement this functionality at all is a 
testament to the power and flexibility of D, but this really ought to be 
a core language feature.
