You'd also lose polymorphism, which you don't with Rebindable. In D, references are polymorphic. Pointers are not. You really don't want to be using a pointer to a class. D was designed with the idea that classes would accessed through references, not pointers, and the related features are all designed around that. - Jonathan M Davis
