Description Andrei Alexandrescu 2014-11-02 06:45:43 UTC 
Type constructors are language artifacts that build new types. Qualifiers are type constructors in the sense that const(T) is a distinct type from T, but there are many other type constructors: T[], T*, templates, etc. The page http://dlang.org/const3.html should refer to qualifiers as "qualifiers", not "type constructors".
