constness for arrays

[Andrew Fedoniouk]

I think I need to explain the idea using different words.

In terms of C++

"char[]" and
"const char[]"
are two distinct types.

"const char[]" is a reduced version of "char[]"

Reduced means that "const char[]" as a type has no
mutating methods like length(uint newLength),
opIndexAssign, etc.

extended typedef allows you to define
explicitly such const types by reducing
set of operations (what C++ does implicitly)
and also allows you to extend such types by new
methods.

Main value of the approach is for array and
pointer types I guess.
