--- Comment #8 from Steven Schveighoffer <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Jonathan M Davis from comment #6) > The fact that public, private, static, etc. can't go on > the right completely goes against the entire argument for why const is > allowed on the left, and as soon as I figured that I out, I was pretty mad > that we'd ever agreed to let const be on the left. BTW, I think this is allowed for historical reasons -- attributes on the right did not exist before a certain version. On the left was the only way early on. I can't remember which version allowed it on the right, but there was a debate about it on the NG. --
