<pre>Generally-speaking, we don't like inventing language extensions, because they
create C++ dialects and so fragment the language. AFAIK, no other compiler
accepts 'T &const', so there's no compatibility argument here, and no-one is
proposing this for standardization.
I'm also not even sure what you're proposing: is it that you want 'T &const' to
be treated as 'T const&' (which I think is the "common newbie mistake" you're
referring to), or that you want it to be treated as 'T &' (like 'const
IntRef')? Both of these seem like bad answers.
This does not meet the requirements for a Clang language extension (see
<a href="http://clang.llvm.org/get_involved.html">http://clang.llvm.org/get_involved.html</a>) => WONTFIX.</pre>
