You'd also lose polymorphism, which you don't with Rebindable. In D, 
references are polymorphic. Pointers are not. You really don't want to be 
using a pointer to a class. D was designed with the idea that classes would 
accessed through references, not pointers, and the related features are all 
designed around that.
