I feel should add that I still very much favor simple value type 
containers.

C++ does just fine with value-type containers. I know "D isn't 
C++" but if it works, it works. I think the D community often 
tries way too hard to be innovative, and in many cases, less is 
more. WYSIWYG is a much more important principal to me than 
whatever resulted in a RefCounted(T) that likes to dress up like 
a value type. Structs doing heavy work in this(this) may be bad D 
style, but structs that don't act like structs is worse.
