const(FAQ) says: "When doing a deep copy of a data structure, the
invariant portions need not be copied."
I'm trying to imagine what code would benefit from such optimization.
immutable struct Large { whole lotta data... }
struct Other { Large l; }
void funkcja(Large s); // no reference annotation on parameter, copied?
{
Large t = s; // copied?
auto other = Other(s); // copied?
Other o = other; // other.l copied?
}
