The following struct has two functions, one marked as const and the other marked as inout. Note that both calls in main are in error: they lack an argument.

struct S
{
    void is_const(int) const
    {}

    void is_inout(int) inout
    {}
}

void main()
{
    const s = S();
    s.is_const();
    s.is_inout();
}

The error message for the first one is correct because it mentions the mismatched argument list:

  Error: function deneme.S.is_const (int _param_0) const is not callable using
argument types () const

However, the error message for the second call is misleading:

  Error: inout method deneme.S.is_inout is not callable using a const object

Very frustrating as `inout` is not an obvious language feature (I mean all these implicit conversions) and the error will misguide lots of coders.
