Walter Bright:
Not a bad idea. But why not go a step further, and make:x := value; the equivalent of: const x := value; ?
Of course. But I think that syntax saves only a small amount of chars, and it adds a second obvious way to do one thing.
There is another syntax that's missing in D that I think is much more useful, and it allows to do something that currently has no good way to be done.
