Well, immutable doesn't appear anywhere in the Phobos source code yet
either.  So rather than a bug, I was thinking it was part of a K-part
plan to phase in immutable and phase out invariant.  Just curious what
that plan was.

My other question is relevant to that too -- will class invariants
return to "invariant { ... }" at some stage in that plan (although I
think I got old syntax vs new syntax mixed up in that post -- I have
very rarely used class invariants).
