Head Const is what C++ has for const, i.e. it is not transitive, applies
to one level only. D has transitive const.
What head const will do for us:
1. make it easy to interface to C++ code that uses const, as currently
it is not very practical to do so, you have to resort to pragma(mangle)
I'd much rather improve pragma(mangle) than add more C++ features to D.
2. supports single assignment style of programming, even if the data is
otherwise mutable
Like 'final'? We did get rid of that...
