Kenji just proposed a slightly controversial pull request so I
want to reach out for more people to discuss it's tradeoffs.
It's about deprecating function qualifiers on the left hand
side of a function.
I'm all for it
Then at some future point we could apply the left hand side
qualifiers to the return type, e.g. `const int foo();` ==
`const(int) foo();`
I know it's not happening anytime soon, but I'm against this
second idea. This will be an extra annoyance when "porting" old D
code to a new version. Just removing the currently ambiguous
attribute on the left should be plenty. No need to try to mimic C
in this regard.
