const only has a meaning in presence of aliasing. Unique const data is
meaningless. const is abstract. strongly pure functions should not be allowed
to return const; they can return mutable or immutable data instead.

static assert(!is(typeof(new const(Object))));
static assert(!is(typeof(new const(int)[1])));
static assert(!is(typeof({const(Object) foo(){return new Object;}})));
static assert(!is(typeof({const(int)[] foo(){return new int[1];}})));
