I concur, these two are major const issues.

Fixing Rebindable seems instrumental in fixing Variant if I 
understand the situation correctly. Fixing Variant is 
instrumental to fixing std.concurrency. A lot of issues are 
solved by going down this path.

As for Object - this week on IRC I had to explain to someone 
relatively new to D that the error he encountered was due to 
Object not being const-correct yet. Which surely sounds like a 
trivial problem to fix, but at least I could link to the 
discussion in the pull request to clarify that it isn't entirely 
straight-forward. This is definitely another source of 
frustration when working with const.
