Re: GtkD Coding Post #0115 - GKT/GIO Application - Open Files from the Command Line

You can find it here: https://gtkdcoding.com/2021/09/24/0115-gtk-gio-app-open-flag.html nice. Do you think you could make a GTK 4 tutorial eventually? Would be great if it uses libadwaita, could make linux phone mobile apps with it.
Re: New library: rebindable, create a type that can stand in for any other type, but mutable (and without destructor)

I forgot to mention: It does this by recursively crawling the member types of `T`, replacing all primitives with non-const equivalents. Is this terrible? Yes, it's very terrible. I also don't see how to avoid it.
New library: rebindable, create a type that can stand in for any other type, but mutable (and without destructor)
Or: Turducken 2.0 The Reckoning https://code.dlang.org/packages/rebindable https://github.com/FeepingCreature/rebindable Rebindable offers a proxy type, `rebindable.DeepUnqual` (`DeepUnqual!T`) that can "stand in" for `T` in layout, but does not share `T`'s constructor, destructor, copy constructor, invariants or constness. It's effectively "`std.typecons.Rebindable` for structs (and everything else)". This proxy type is useful when implementing data structures where the lifetime of a contained value is different from the lifetime of the data structure itself. This project sprang from my thread over in general, https://forum.dlang.org/thread/kkefkykirldffkdoq...@forum.dlang.org "Will D always have a way to rebind an arbitrary data type?" To my knowledge, rebindable exploits no compiler bugs and invokes no undefined behavior. All casts are such that pointer fields are matched with pointer fields (or void[]) at the same offset. It is also totally independent of the vagaries of Phobos functions like `moveEmplace`, which Turducken used. Of course, you must still make sure that mutable fields in `DeepUnqual!T` are never exposed as immutable. You can do this by only returning `T` by value.
