D uses parens to restrict how much of the type is const.

const int* - const pointer to const int
const(int*) - const pointer to const int
const(int)* - mutable pointer to const int

Similarly,

const(int*)* - mutable pointer to const pointer to const int
const(int)** - mutable pointer to mutable pointer to const int

D's const is transitive, so it's not possible to have a const pointer to a
mutable type.
