Any way to 'cast away' shared for an unknown type T?

There's actually an Unshared template for this in std.traits, but for some reason it's private, so you can't use it directly. Fortunately, it's only two lines:

alias Unshared(T) = T;
alias Unshared(T: shared U, U) = U;

Once you have this, you can write cast(Unshared!T).

Thank you. This really helped.
