I disagree with this change, this is extremely dangerous behavior when
interfacing with C. Take a look at the following:

-----
extern(C) const int *foo();

void main()
{
    *foo() = 1;  // compiles
}
-----

The proper definition should have been:

-----
extern(C) const(int)* foo();

void main()
{
    *foo() = 1;  // fails
}
-----

It is very easy to make this mistake, it should not be silent, at least not for
module-scoped functions.

Alternatively as a compromise I suggest we at least add this check for
extern(C) functions, because this is where this problem can occur very
frequently.
