Are you serious???? 

I want 'x' to be immutable so I need to use 'final' and place it the
furtherest away from what is is qualifying.

I want 'char[]' to be immutable so I must use 'const' and place it next to
what it is qualifying plus use parenthesis around its target too.

Why do you think that this is intuitive, consistent, and easy to read?
