I believe the previous versions are accept-invalid. The leading 'const' is
equivalent to the trailing 'const', which is applying the 'const' to 'this'
only. Therefore, the function's type is in fact

    ref int get() const;

If you want to return a const int, apply it directly on the return type.

------------------
struct foo
{
  public:
    ref const(int) get() const { return bar[0]; }
  //    ^^^^^^^^^^
  private:
    int bar[1];
}

void main(){
 auto a = foo();
}
------------------
