Embarrassed to ask this question because it seems so trivial but genuinely curious...

It doesn't matter much for constructors, but in general, the 
problem with placing qualifiers in front is that it looks 
confusing:
```D
struct S
{
     immutable int[] f()
     {
         return [];
     }
}
```

This reads as if it returns an `immutable(int[])`, but it 
doesn't, the `immutable` means that it can only be called on 
`immutable` instances of `S`.
