The use case is for a non-nullable type, where I want to
guarantee that the value inside will never be null. I can't do
it for inner classes though. And I can't allow the user to do
something like:
void main() {
class C {}
auto s = construct(new C);
}
Because I can't guarantee that's not null.

Is there any reason, why you don't want to use a struct? An
instance of such is never null, still having access to its
context, if it is a function.
Sorry, by non-nullable I meant not null. It's that construct
produces a wrapper type that has an internal value that I want to
guarantee is not null. So whether T is a struct or class is
dependent on the user of construct.
