Now the question for genericity's sake is: should 
Unqual!(const(Object)) give you the type Rebindable!(const(Object))?

Unfortunately, you probably can't get this one right without some help 
from the compiler: immutable(Rebindable!(const(Object)))?

And what will Unqual do with this: 
Unqual!(immutable(Rebindable!(const(Object)))?
