Whereas I think that that hards readibility, because it hides the fact that a 
static if is used. If you're submitting code for Phobos, please do something 
like

static if(isAssignable!(T, T)) @property void front(T value) {val = value;}

or

static if(isAssignable!(T,T))
    @property void front(T value) { value = value; }

rather than what you have above, otherwise it will harm maintainability.
