Semantically? No.
Syntactically the "group the const members together" is a lot cleaner, imho. Not just from a "just a single const" standpoint, but from a "code as documentation" standpoint.
But I guess to avoid the clang issue, we could do the "mark individual fields" thing.
(It turns out that sparse gets this wrong too, so it's not just clang).
