In fact, I think this is valid D code:
int i;
const int *pi = &i;
int *p = cast()pi;
*p = 5; // legal because I know this points at i, and i is really mutable
cast() is an abomination. I'm not sure OTTOMH whether it's a bug that it
works.
It is not legal code. I did not point it out because it was clear what
was meant. cast() only casts away the top level of modifiers. It is
perfectly safe except for class objects.
