In C/C++ the const always applies to whatever is left of it. If there is 
nothing left of it, it applies to what is right to it.

So
"const char**" is equivalent to "char const **". That means the only 
part that is const is the char. In D const applies to whatever is inside 
the parantheses.
So the equivalent in D would be

const(char)** and const(char)***

If you have something like the following in C:

const char * const

the D equivalent would be
const(char*)

Note that the star is included in the parantheses here, because the 
pointer is const to, not only the data it points to.

the D type: const(char**) would be equivalent to C: char const * const * 
const. (But you won't ever needs this)
