          Issue ID: 24393
           Summary: Going into ROM operator overload
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P1
         Component: dmd

          Reporter: alphaglosined gmail.com

When a block of memory goes into read only memory (cast or new), the operator
overload ``opGoingIntoROM`` should be called upon it.

Without this:

- Classes cannot have optimizations that assume that the memory is actually
immutable. As a result LDC does not apply it to ANY type causing performance
problems. https://forum.dlang.org/post/dinugxopqgwrzobrfhov forum.dlang.org
- Reference counting types cannot be immutable and therefore turn off reference
counting. Otherwise segfaults if the memory is read only.
