Walter, please, explain us, why you don't post any thoughts on important
     language features like const?
Why you don't tell us about concepts you want to change in constness?
I think it will be very useful to discuss important features with
community, before those will be implemented.
As you can see, consts and invariants was not successful, i think,
because it has not been discussed on conceptual stage...
