> I disagree with this change, this is extremely dangerous behavior when

> extern(C) const int *foo();
> 
> void main()
> {
>     *foo() = 1;  // compiles
> }

> The proper definition should have been:
> 
> -----
> extern(C) const(int)* foo();
> 
> void main()
> {
>     *foo() = 1;  // fails

> It is very easy to make this mistake, it should not be silent, at least not for
> module-scoped functions.

> Alternatively as a compromise I suggest we at least add this check for
> extern(C) functions, because this is where this problem can occur very
> frequently.
