Is it not possible to return a ref from an inout function?
It isn't the inout that's getting you, it is the const object in
main().
const(List!int) c;
Make that mutable and it works. Why? Cuz the `C list` in the
iterator keeps that const with it.... I'm not sure why that kills
it though, the error tells me it is an internal cast that is
breaking things but I don't see why that logically would.
This might arguably be a bug, but you could work around it by
checking for that const This and offering a different method that
just returns const instead of ref.
T[] data = new T[1];
BTW what do you think this line does? I ask because most people
who use it don't get what they expect out of it....
