Does constBack imply to have several static if constructions,
function overloadings or template specializations? I mean does
this help to reduce the amount of code? And it also sets aside
the discussion about casting const away
(http://forum.dlang.org/thread/riiehqozpkyluhhifwha@forum.dlang.org).

I believe that generated code does not distinguish constness of
object. Moreover, currently inout goes with one code, so it is
possible.
All my questions and talks rose from inout restrictions on
casting and keeping inside classes and structs. I'm not sure that
they are needed. As for now, inout is quite useless for the cases
little bit more complex than "inout(A) getData() inout { return
data; }". It leads to templates overusage and code duplication.
I'm not against inout, I'm for its improvement.
