Yes, and it's exactly the practice I follow, although Ddoc replaces it
on the left-hand side ... :-)
And also to always write `const(int)` rather than the potentially
ambiguous `const int`. It may feel unnecessarily verbose at first, until
you have to distinguish between:
const(int)[] func();
const(int[]) func();
int[] func() const;
const(int)[] func() const;
const(int[]) func() const;
then you begin to appreciate the notation. :)
Well, quite :-) I'm not complaining about the issues here, I'm
suggesting that inventing an extra keyword for the cases discussed in
these DIPs is not necessary, because the analogy and connection with
existing use of const/immutable is valuable.
There is no such analogy or connection.
