When I tried to apply to a position at Symmetry, I've got a
criticism from Atila Neves that some of my code relied too much
on memcpy, thus making it unsafe. After digging into std.array, I
found some function that could possibly replace it to emulate

D has immutable data, const allows to consume both mutable and
immutable data.

optimizations whenever it doesn't find a const_cast and the
mutable specifier marks members that aren't a part of the object
state. Of course, it's not perfect but one can document their
intentions and it's possible to use synchr
