I made an old PR for a Rebindable that works with const/immutable
structs with aliasing:
https://github.com/dlang/phobos/pull/4363
I didn't have time to get it merged though. I didn't think about
AAs, but we already have Rebindable for classes, and Rebindable
could probably easily support the other types. Then we could swap
those uses of Unqual for Rebindable.
