Pretty much, yeah. const in D is what it's going to be. That involves some
pros and cons in comparison to what C++ has, so in some ways it's going to
be better, and in others, it's going to be frustrating in its restrictions
(e.g. it doesn't work with anything that would require the mutable keyword
in C++), but it's the way that it's going to be in D.
