The spec (now) says:

> Casting with no type or qualifiers removes any top level const, immutable, shared or inout type modifiers from the type of the UnaryExpression

https://dlang.org/spec/expression.html#cast_qualifier

Note 'top level'. So I think this is invalid.

I have no idea what I was thinking those 13 years ago. OK to close ;)
