What the heck is this, /prog/? Is there some shit around strdup() in c99?

It is *of course* a short form of constant. And we are not talking about 'const data', we are talking about a const member function which is not supposed to modify its arguments.

On a side note, looking up the actual definition of const on Wikipedia, apparently in D, const behaves as I've been describing.

Unlike C++ const, D const and immutable are "deep" or transitive, and anything reachable through a const or immutable object is const or immutable respectively.
class Foo {
    Foo next;
    int num;
}
 
immutable Foo foo = new immutable(Foo);
foo.next.num = 5;  // Won't compile.  foo.next is of type immutable(Foo).
                   // foo.next.num is of type immutable(int).

Wow, a sane language designer. I might have to take a look at this D language after all.
