Sounds interesting.
I imagine you could specialize this depending on mutability.
Rust allows only one mutable borrow, but eliminated immutable
borrows, but you can't mix them. You could also place some
restrictions, like dis-allow borrows, only allow immutable
borrows, etc.
Rust can do that because it enforces it at compile-time. A D
solution wouldn't be able to do anything more with immutable
borrows.
