A) I've got 200,000 lines to port in order to move to D2.x

B) I'm pretty unenthusiastic about const now.

C) I want _some_ stability.  Breaking changes can be introduced into 2.x 
at any time.  And I think it's best that way.  Walter should feel 
completely free to break anything he sees fit to break in the D2 tree.
