Small question, how exactly are you getting the TypeInfo without knowing
its exact type at CT?

I just use it at construction, when the type is known. -- Andrei

Ugh:

void main() {
        alias TYPE = immutable(ubyte[]);

        auto TYPEV2 = cast(immutable)TYPE.init;
        alias TYPE2 = typeof(TYPEV2);

        pragma(msg, TYPE);
        pragma(msg, TYPE2);

        static if (is(TYPE2 == TYPE)) {
                pragma(msg, "immutable");
        } else {
                pragma(msg, "mutable");
        }
}

cast() should be clearing away the immutable, but for some reason it is 
not working the way I would expect.
