I was just thinking that maybe we should make a generic function for
this and add it to Phobos. Something like
auto makePtr(T, U)(U value) if(is(U : T)) {}
auto makePtr(T, Args...)(Args args) {}
where the first one works with primitive types and the second one
works with
structs. Then you could do
auto f = makePtr!(immutable float)(2.1);
I think that I'll have to see about throwing together something like that
tonight and create a pull request.

Am I right that [2.0].ptr (instead of 2.0 could be a struct literal)
doesn't involve copying, while such function would?
Copying what? One word is surely cheap ;)
