This is almost exactly what you have to do today, assuming you're
using @safe. You'll **have** to write this then:
`() @trusted { auto palindrome = cast(char[])"able was I ere I
saw elba"; } ();`
Instead, you opted to comment out `@safe`. Unfortunately, "@safe
by default" idea was brutally eviscerated.
As others have already stated, casting immutability away is
something that has to be supported, e.g. to interface with
const-agnostic APIs. `@safe` requires such casts to be more
verbose, with good reason.
