I don't think it's good idea. It would introduce confusing than benefits.

All D programmers would assume that unqualified type name T is a mutable type,
and const(T) is const, immutable(T) is immutable.

But, the proposed idea will break the assumption - all ModuleInfo,
const(ModuleInfo), immutable(ModuleInfo) will be same immutable. it's very
confusing situation.

Hmm, that's a good point.

There were some bumps in transitioning to the immutable alias 'string', but it all turned out for the best. The compiler complains if you do anything wrong, and this proposal fixes the breaking code issue.

I'm just indicating that there are more than one project that is affected by this.

Affected by what? If you know one, why not name it?

Affected by the issue I reported here. Or rather the change that causes this issue. The projects I've found this in so far is DWT and Tango.
