 Const, final, invariant, head const, tail const, it's grown into a 
 monster. It tries to cover all the bases, but in doing so is simply not

This seems to have generated a lot of discussion... I just want to weigh in with a strong vote of approval for Walter, Andrei and Bartosz's proposal. I like it. It works and the syntax is straightforward. Admittedlly there may be cases where a different syntax/keyword/implementation would work better for that case, but overall I think they've achieved good coverage with minimal structure. Paul
