It's not directly related to the discussion we are currently

some nice ideas, so I figured I'd post this here.

How is it explicit in D? Something to do with shared/const? But
the default-owned/borrow vs explicit unique-borrow (but `&mut`)
in Rust /are/ explicit, while in D anything passed to a function
is by default either a completely independent copy or a shallow
copy of a reference that needs mutex'ing or a const-qualified
view to be safe.
Asking, not arguing, 'cause I'm new to D and a bit confused. I
hope replying to old topics is okay...
