Implicit cast to const of result returned from findSplit()

[Per Nordlöw via Digitalmars-d-learn]

Why does

@safe pure unittest
{
    import std.algorithm.searching : findSplit;
    if (const split = "a b".findSplit(" "))
    {
    }
}
error as

f.d(4,5): Error: mutable method 
`std.algorithm.searching.findSplit!("a == b", string, 
string).findSplit.Result!(string, 
string).Result.opCast!bool.opCast` is not callable using a 
`const` object
f.d(4,5):        Consider adding `const` or `inout` to 
std.algorithm.searching.findSplit!("a == b", string, 
string).findSplit.Result!(string, 
string).Result.opCast!bool.opCast

when

@safe pure unittest
{
    import std.algorithm.searching : findSplit;
    if (auto split = "a b".findSplit(" "))
    {
    }
}

doesn't?

AFAICT, it looks like a missing bool qualifier on `opCast!bool`, 
right?
