Kenji just proposed a slightly controversial pull request so I want to
reach out for more people to discuss it's tradeoffs.
It's about deprecating function qualifiers on the left hand side of a
function.
So instead of
const int foo();
you'd should write
int foo() const;
Then at some future point we could apply the left hand side qualifiers
to the return type, e.g. `const int foo();` == `const(int) foo();`
Would this affect your code?
Do you think it makes your code better or worse?
Is this just a pointless style change?
Anything else?
