My point would be the same regardless. Range!(const T) and 
const(Range!T) - and Container!(const T) and const(Container!T) - 
have no relation as far as the compiler is concerned, and that 
makes dealing with const correctly a royal pain - particularly if 
you want a range to act like an array like it's supposed to be 
able to do (at least insofar as they have the same operations). 
You asked what deadalnix meant by

and I tried to explain.
