It doesn't distinguish between const and invariant.

If the function is a member function, it doesn't tell me if the class
instance (this) will be modified.

But apart from that, I kinda like it. Of course, there have been
various requests for const-by-default in the past (including from me),
and also various requests for multiple return values (although I
believe we can do that now, with a slightly different syntax, using
value tuples), so I'd say the proposition has arisen before. (Just,
maybe not all at once). It's unlikely to happen though.
