Yes, then the B's definition should raise "mutable A.foo() is

I don't really understand why adding a special case for
something that has
no real use case.
In old age, it had thrown HiddenFuncError in runtime, and some
years ago,
it had been changed to compile-time error.
It is one of design in D to avoid unintended method hiding
issue.
This whole overload on const (note overload, not override) has
been introduced in the first place to solve problem that inout
now solve in a superior way.
