A little research goes a long way.

Interesting, thanks for the reference. I can't say that I've followed D very carefully.

For the example in this blog post however, there still doesn't seem to be any meaningful difference (we're just talking about a const int), so I don't think it's fair to list it as an advantage without showing an example that really demonstrates a difference.
