Walter doesn't agree that it was a bad decision. He thinks that being consistent with the other function attributes and letting them all be on both sides of the function is more important, but given the fact that that's highly error-prone for const and immutable, I definitely think that it was a bad decision. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it, because Walter doesn't agree, and I don't expect that anyone is going to be able to convince him. - Jonathan M Davis
