Re: Make const, immutable, inout, and shared illegal as function attributes on the left-hand side of a function

Martin Nowak:

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.

So instead of
    const int foo();
you'd should write
    int foo() const;

+1 from me.


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();`

In this case I think it's better to focus on the most important 
thing first.
