I can vouch that I find it confusing.  At least on one other occasion,  
Walter nixed a feature because of this.

It was for const(X) to mean tail-const and const X to mean full const.   
The point was made that const(X) and const X should be equivalent, and to  
do otherwise will result in tremendous confusion.

I see a similar pattern here.
