Sure, but at least in theory, the struct's postblit should be 
able to copy a reference type container via dup or whatnot if 
that's what you really want (though the issues with const and 
immutable interacting badly with postblit remain), and creating a 
whole set of value type variants of containers just for cases 
like that (which are sometimes useful but usually a bad idea) 
seems like overkill.
