Oh, I see now.
   auto b = new const(Bob)();

I suppose const(Bob) is a type in this case.  I guess I'm not 
sure what the purpose of having a const constructor is. I see the 
benefit of having const members, to assure that the object is not 
modifed after creation, but when the constructor is const as 
well, that enforces head-const behavior as well, so that whenever 
a reference variable is initialized, that it cannot later 
reference something else.

Maybe it's just best that I avoid this feature and don't put 
const in front of the class.
