Still the distinction between const as storage class and const as type
qualifier seems to be a nicer approach than introducing special syntax.

It seems to work for templates parameters

template Foo(T) { pragma(msg, T); }
alias test = Foo!(const Object);
alias test2 = Foo!(const(Object));

True, for array elements you cannot specify a storage class.

const(Object)[] ary;  // ary of tail const objects or array of const objects
const(Object[]) cary; // const array of const objects
