The source to DMD is there. Feel free to try! I spent months trying to
make it work, and I learned my lesson.
Even without knowing anything about DMD internals, I would suspect that
to successfully make this change it would require (at least internally
in the compiler, but not necessarily in the D language itself) that
classes are treated as value types an not as references (similarly to
C++, where structs are the same as classes).
Michel Fortin has implemented it in the current compiler, see a later
thread (const(Object)ref is here).
