Description elpenguino+D 2019-06-08 00:34:13 UTC 
```
struct X {}
void main() {
    struct X {}
    func(X());
}
void func(const(X)) {}
```
Currently results in:
```
onlineapp.d(4): Error: function `onlineapp.func(const(X))` is not callable using argument types `(X)`
onlineapp.d(4):        cannot pass argument `X()` of type `X` to parameter `const(X)`
```
which isn't particularly helpful.

Without const, it helpfully uses the fully qualified names in the error message.
