Hiding memoization behind fake const is one of more unpleasant 
C++ multi-threading abominations I have encountered during my C++ 
says. Resulting races are so subtle (because only happen once) 
and so inevitable (because it is subconsciously reasoned about as 
physical const) that debugging them becomes real pain.

This thread is really scary because of that. It is pretty much 
saying that D attempt to rethink multi-threading data model that 
caused trouble in C++ has failed completely and we back to square 
one. Even if it isn't technical disaster, it is marketing one for 
sure.
