No, but with a template you could easily make your own:
class Boxed(T) {
T _v;
alias _v this;
this(in T v) immutable {_v = v;};
};
auto i = new Boxed!int(6);
Thank you. This is just what I needed. I am curious though as to
why this doesn't work with strings. It would work if I removed
immutable from the Boxed constructor but I thought strings were
immutable. I get a compiler error 'not callable using a mutable
object'. Even marking a string with the immutable keyword has the
same result.
