Thanks for the info.  It would be nice if variable references to constant data 
were built into the language, but as long as Rebindable works, at least it's 
possible to have them.

However, it looks like I'm going to have to install dmd differently if I want 
to be able to use Rebindable.  I'm using gentoo's official ebuild and it's on 
version 2.008.  I had thought that that was the most recent version, but 
apparently not - and it looks like Rebindable has been added since then.  Oh 
well, I'll get a newer version on my system one way or another.  I'd prefer to 
be on the most recent version of dmd anyway, so this has pointed out to me that 
I'm quite a bit behind.

In any case, thanks for the info.  It'll be quite useful.  And from the look of 
the page that you linked to, you're one of the folks that implemented it, so 
thanks for that too.
