Both problems need to be addressed, and this one is probably easier. It also 
has a huge impact on std.benchmark, so I would have thought that you'd be more 
in favor of it.

However, we do have a tendancy to bring up problems like this, discuss them 
for a while, and then let them be more or less forgotten for a while. It keeps 
happening with stuff like const ref / auto ref, shared, const and Object, const 
postblit constructors, @trusted blocks, etc. And we need to actually get them 
sorted out.
