I guess I thought that literals were allocated at runtime. Must have used Ruby too much...nothing wrong with changing its literals. I almost would like D's literals to be that way, but I can't think of a time that I'd actually want to change a literal, so it definitely wouldn't be worth the overhead.
Sorry for the mistake.
