Sure, that could point out that putting const or the left is bug-prone and
warn you that you should change it, but while it's not really possible to
have a fully consistent design with regards to function attributes, I still
think that allowing const on the left is simply a bad design decision. A
linter is then just a way to help you work around that bad design decision.
