This seems like cursor!(inout(V)) might work (V is the element type of  
the
container) as the return type for inout functions.  However, one of the
major requirements of inout is that it correctly cast back to the
constancy of the container.

try to return inout(cursor!(Unqual!(V)))

This won't solve the problem.  I need inout to be on V, not on the  
cursor.  Essentially, I need cursor to be tail-inout.

BTW, this assumes V is not const.  I'm not exactly sure how well the  
containers work when V is not mutable.  I'd expect they would fail  
spectacularly :)
