My thinking is that significant work in this(this) is poor D

I feel should add that I still very much favor simple value type
containers.
C++ does just fine with value-type containers. I know "D isn't
C++" but if it works, it works. I think the D community often
tries way too hard to be innovative, and in many cases, less is
more. WYSIWYG is a much more important principal to me than
whatever resulted in a RefCounted(T) that likes to dress up like
a value type. Structs doing heavy work in this(this) may be bad D
style, but structs that don't act like structs is worse.
