This issue just keeps and keeps and keeps comming up. New and experienced users just keep getting hit by this issue.

People get had by it all the time.

http://forum.dlang.org/thread/agyeejbrpotpjrecepyl@forum.dlang.org#post-llwyuftyblrjphnyenmf:40forum.dlang.org

It's a known trap that's never going to get better. It should be fixed.

Just had to fix openssl bindings. https://github.com/MartinNowak/openssl/commit/b3a334b5bcea8afc7a68573d4363891e7e0bc422

Translating
    const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc4_hmac_md5(void);
to
    const EVP_CIPHER *EVP_rc4_hmac_md5();
instead of
    const(EVP_CIPHER)* EVP_rc4_hmac_md5();

It's a common mistake during C header translation.
Since 2.066.0 the compiler at least warns that const can only be applied to
member functions.

@Geod24 created dlang/dmd pull request #10757 "Fix issue 12931: Make ambiguous qualifiers illegal on the LHS of a function" fixing this issue:

- Fix issue 12931: Make ambiguous qualifiers illegal on the LHS of a function

  This has been a pain point for many D users for years,
  both new and old, as can be seen from the discussions on the issue.
  It is however a potentially disruptive deprecation.

  Note: The test for issue 5962 in test/runnable/xtest46.d has been
  removed as the issue was only present with prefix syntax.

So after raising a PR, it turns out Walter is against it: https://github.com/dlang/dmd/pull/10757#issuecomment-586849786

Marking as "WONTFIX" as a result. Feel free to chime in on Github if you feel strongly about it.
