Const in D is very restrictive because it's supposed to provide

I keep hearing how const is nigh unusable in D, and except for
ranges I litter my code with const everywhere, pretty much just
as often as I used in C++. I normally only use `auto` for return
types and input ranges, and nearly all of my function parameters
are `in`.
It's true that a lot of people don't use `const` because I keep
finding and filing bugs in dub libraries as soon as I try using
them, but other than that: const is fine.
