Take a look in bugzilla. I opened an enhancement request to fix 
this situation, but Walter has closed it down. The rationale is 
to keep uniform the way D manages tags like const, immutable, etc.

I don't agree with him in this case: I agree that uniformity is 
good, but breaking symmetry is acceptable when it just produces 
an error and when it helps avoid a common mistake.

If you have strong desires about fixing this, then I suggest you 
to open a new thread about it in the main D newsgroup. I have 
already fought this battle and I lost. (And I think this time 
Jonathan was on my side).
