This declaration doesn't make sense to me:

That isn't really the type of a delegate though. Outside of a 
class that usage has no meaning or value. Even so, I don't 
actually understand what value it brings over declaring the 
function const (maybe only callable by an immutable instance?).

What is wrong with the current template which returns an 
immutable delegate type? It still store you're immutable member 
function.

class Z {
    string a() immutable {
        return " 1";
    }
}

template F(t) {
    alias immutable(t) F;
}
alias typeof(&Z.init.a) Texpected;
alias typeof(&Z.init.a) T;

static assert(is(F!(T) : Texpected));
static assert(is(Texpected : F!(T) ));

void main() {}
