I suppose that should make us rethink transitive `const`, too.
Currently, there’s a hole in D’s expressiveness with regard to 
*mutable* variables holding values of `const` types.


```d
int foo() const
{
	for (auto next = this.next; next !is null; next = next.next) // 
Error: cannot modify `const` expression `next`
	{
	// […]
```

… has to be rewritten to the not-so-elegant …

```d
int foo() const
{
	for (auto next = (() @trusted => cast() this.next)(); next !is 
null; next = next.next)
	{
	// […]
```
