inout should solve all these problems.  As Timon says, there are bugs with  
it.  Bugs do not mean the design is not sound.

Also note that you are not unique in that experience, I tried to port  
Tango to D2 a long time ago, and the bug report 1961 was a direct result  
of trying that porting.  In other words, inout was *designed* to allow  
Tango to be ported to D2.
