How about a compromise based on Andrei's new final(bool) suggestion?
We could implement const(false) to allow overriding the default
behavior of invariants. E.g.:
class C
{
invariant() // const-by-default, as usual
{
}
invariant() const(false) // new feature
{
}
}
That way existing code stays safe.
