I didn't do that only because it concerns implemental details
of Phobos which didn't seem to be learner material. I have just
now separately posted an actual "I don't know why this doesn't
work" question over there. I do use both fora for different
things.
One reason is that it interacts with constructs like
std.meta.staticMap, e.g.
alias constTypes(T ...) = staticMap!(ConstOf, T);
But even then it's enough if these are marked `package`, no?
No, I meant that as an example of user code, not necessarily
something in phobos.
It's just a convenience. Sure, the user could write
alias constOf(T) = const(T);
themselves, but for better or worse, it's in std.traits so they
don't have to.
