Code demonstrating the issue

An object typed as const will have const members, and a class declared as const
will have const members, but a class typed as const does not have const
members.

The example code in attachment is:

import std.stdio;

class A
{
	int b;
}

void main()
{
	const A a = new A;
	writeln(typeof(a).stringof); // const(A)
	writeln(typeof(a.b).stringof); // const(int)
	
	writeln((const A).stringof); // const(A)
	writeln(typeof((const A).b).stringof); // int, should be const(int)
}
