So a "property" struct with an internal pointer would have to
be modified when a copy of the struct is made. But this is
bad, structs are supposed to be movable WITHOUT updating
anything.
Except when postblit is defined...? Or opAssign?
I'm pretty sure structs are forbidden to have internal
pointers. They must be able to be moved without any
post-processing.
Hmmm... Well I threw out an idea about not returning inner
structs (outside the controlling parent). If that were followed,
the reference to the parent could silently be added to the
function call rather than the struct itself; Then the data can be
moved freely.
