I've been thinking about replacing 'immutable's of the following type with 'const' (which I use in my own code) throughout the book:

void foo() {
  immutable i = 42;  // Bad?
  // ...
}

void foo() {
  const i = 42;      // Good?
  // ...
}

I started a new discussion to confuse myself even further before committing that change. :)

Unfortunately, not in the book. The git commits are available but my comments are too terse there to be useful:

The Change Log is pretty useful though:
