Is the const { } syntax not yet implemented in dmd 0.118, or did I miss
something?

Not confirmed. dmd 0.118 compiles the example lines.

Could it be that I am doing something wrong with the compile options?

Right, I had the example running with several other examples as well, now I
placed the example in a seperat file:

consttest.d
<code>
import std.c.stdio;

int main (char[][] args)
{
// Const Attribute example from manual 
const int foo = 7;

const
{							// Line 10
double bar = foo + 6;
}

return 0;
}
</code>

I still get the same error in line 10 though:

dmd consttest.d

consttest.d(10): basic type expected, not {
consttest.d(10): no identifier for declarator int
consttest.d(10): semicolon expected, not '{'

Hope that helps.

I get the same errors. Why not just use
const double bar = foo + 6;

Actually I don't really have a problem with the above, just surprised my that
the compile test failed. Well at least on my setup.

you can use const with D?

Yes, just not in all the ways that you can in C++.  C++ allows you to, for 
example, declare function parameters as const, thus making them 
unmodifyable.  D doesn't.  However, const variable declarations are allowed.

Yes.  That the code snippet on that page isn't within a function.  The 
attribute { ... } syntax applies at only module or class/struct/union level.

But there does seem to be something missing from the spec here....
