D1 or D2? For D2, this would only matter for shared and __gshared variables. For shared variables, it makes about as much sense as logical const. I'm going to guess that logical shared won't make it into D2. I have no idea about __gshared, but I'm going to guess that functionality won't grow beyond its current state. For some reason, I think D had __thread at one time...
