I just want to note that librebindable was created to solve this 
exact problem. I'm gonna do a dconf talk on that, too. (Yay!)

https://code.dlang.org/packages/rebindable We've mostly done 
development on the code in an inhouse repo, so this is a bit 
outdated, but nothing in the internals has changed, as far as I 
can remember. I'm going to do an update of the public repo before 
DConf, add some utility types as examples and so on. But the core 
idea has been surprisingly stable.
