What guarantees does D 'const' provide, compared to C++?

Something I'm having trouble undertanding/remembering (sorry,
you've probaby already explained it a billion times)...
I remember being told many times that D's 'const' provides
stronger guarantees than C++'s 'const'.
I just wanted to clarify, is that true for 'const' itself, or is
that referring only to when 'const' is used with other D-specific
features (immutable, etc.)?
If it's the former, is there some example piece of code in each
language, for comparison, that shows how the compiler can infer
more from D's const than C++'s?
If so, it might be worth posting something like that on the
website.
