There has been a broad support for this on the newsgroup
discussion because this regularly confuses beginners.
There are also some arguments against it (particularly by
Walter) saying that this change will put too much work on D
code owners.
Let's continue with the following steps.
- add RHS/LHS function qualifiers to D's style guide
- change all code formatting (like dmd's headergen and ddoc to
use RHS qualifiers)
- help Brian to get dfix up and running

Then we might revisit the topic in 6 month and see whether we
have better arguments now.
Sounds good but what is the benefit over just having deprecation
period 6 months longer?
