Right, you wanna make it a type constructor.
This should be the case also for ref and scope too... but you will
*never* get that past Walter.
This thing you describe is the single biggest fundamental mistake in
D, storage class is improperly used for a bunch of stuff. It's been
killing me slowly for a very long time... and I'm confident after so
many years that you will not succeed.

Supporting cast(@rvalue) doesn't depend on this anyway... you can make
that expression work either way.
