Most old code, yes. I used to write all attributes on the left hand
side, but switched to right hand side some time ago.

Probably better, although I tried to be careful with the left hand side
attributes so it shouldn't change to much.

Code will probably look nicer, but I'm not sure if it's consistent.
with const(int) it's obvious that the return value is const. With
const int abcd() @safe
this might be less obvious.

Also fixing old code manually would be very tedious.
