What would this accomplish? Everyone who's been using D for a while knows that,
It will help people that aren't using D for a lot of time yet, as I have said.
If doing this were more verbose, i.e. if I couldn't just write:
immutable y = 2 * x + 1;
I might be less inclined to do this.
Is this too much long?
auto immutable y = 2 * x + 1;
If it's too much long, there are other ways to shorten it (require a syntax
change):
var immutable y = 2 * x + 1;
Or:
immutable y := 2 * x + 1;

Do you find that the extra : adds a lot of otherwise missing clarity?
I think the way it is now is great. Maybe if the := syntax added
automatic immutability too, it would be useful.
