I'm not really sure about the: "Then at some future point we could apply the left hand side qualifiers to the return type, e.g. `const int foo();` ==

I don't think it buys us anything, except maybe silently changing semantics of

code that hibernated through the deprecation process.

Besides,

    const int foo() const
    {
        ...
    }

is fairly ambiguous syntax to my eyes.

    const(int) foo() const
    {
        ...
    }

is less so.

Also

const int delegate() const dg;

Is dg const or the return type ?
