redundant storage class 'const

The getValueX functions below differ only in the number and
placing of the keyword 'const'.
The compiler rejects the first (with 'const const' prefix), as
expected (Error: redundant storage class 'const').
The second (with prefix 'const', suffix 'const') is accepted. It
looks strange but is apparently valid code (cf Bugs 4070 & 9020).
The fourth (with multiple 'const' suffixed) does not generate an
error. This looks like a bug to me. Is it?
public class cls {
private int _value;
this(int value) {
_value = value;
}
// public const const int getValue1() { // Error: redundant
storage class 'const'
// return _value;
// }
public const int getValue2() const { // No error
return _value;
}
public int getValue3() const { // No error
return _value;
}
public int getValue4() const const const { // No error
return _value;
}
}
As a side note, the error message on the first function is
succinct and comprehensible. We can probably close Bug 9422.
