It is currently possible to declare 'const int' variables even though they are
identical to 'immutable int' ones. This is similar.

And consider:

const[] foo(S y) pure { ... }

With this proposal, that's OK for struct S, as long as the struct has a
pointer.
But if S has no pointers, the return value needs to be immutable.
That's just annoying.

This proposal doesn't add any value.
