In your code, you can have such aliases. But don't add such alias in standard
library code. It will introduce much limited situation than benefits.

For example, in the proposal original mutable name _ModuleInfo is private and
inaccessible. So if a programmer want to use const ModuleInfo, he should write
it like const(Unqual!ModuleInfo). Why Unqual is necessary? In other words, you
assumes that most D programmers won't use non-immutable ModuleInfo in their
code. I think it's not reasonable assumption.
