Given the following, where X and Y mark the spot:

        X epochRegex = regex("([0-9])+:");
        Y aEpochCapture = matchFirst(aVersionString, epochRegex);
        Y bEpochCapture = matchFirst(bVersionString, epochRegex);

If X or Y are const or immutable the code fails to compile. Only if
both X and Y are auto does this code compile. So question to the
audience: how do you do single assignment programming in D? Is it, in
fact, impossible to program with bindings rather than variables in D?

And yes this does seem to be a violation of the Principle of Least
Surprise.
