Makes sense.

I suppose in D2 it depends on the answer to the following question. If I write

    auto a = import("filename");
    auto b = import("filename");

do we get two separate copies, or do a and b both point to the same
memory? If the latter, it should definitely be invariant(ubyte)[] in
D2, though as you say, ubyte[] in D1.
