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.
If it's not legal code, then how is implicitly casting away inout during
function execution legal code? Isn't this the same thing?
