Time has come to make a decision on implementing Steven Schveighoffer's
proposal:

It's been in the back of my mind for a while now, I don't find a fault
with it, it solves a very unpleasant problem that would seriously mar
qualifiers, and although it doesn't solve 100% of the potential cases,
it does solve a good fraction of them. I am confident that we can
require body duplication for the remaining stragglers with a straight
face.
I just realized that 'inout' could have a real use even for functions
with no return value. Consider this:
void doSomething(inout(Object)[] a, inout(Object)[] b) {
a[0] = b[0]; // works only when objects in both arrays have the same
constness.
}
