I'm happy to not have logical const in D provided that the Object

opEquals should not require physical const.
IMO const/immutable should *only* be used when you need to pass things
between threads i.e. when you *really do* need physical const. If people
start using const like you would in C++ then every interface just
becomes unnecessarily restrictive.
FYI, this is a bug, not a feature.

It *will* be fixed eventually. The fact that opEquals is not const is a
huge problem.
