The example that I gave does not seem to you like it would surprise

No, it doesn't surprise me. Const on one object does not apply to
another object.
So this:
void myfn(const(C) n)
{
assert(n.x == 1);
n.foo();
assert(n.x == 5);
}
Wouldn't be surprising to you?
No. There are a lot of things a member "x" could be. The const only applies to
the instance data.
