(That is the same issue in C++.)

That's why I've been avoiding them altogether. However, considering that
there is no default-assignment for classes, there is no problem with
using const or immutable members with classes, right?

I'm not sure what you mean by "default assignment". I'd say it works 
more simply with classes, because they're reference types. It's the same 
as using pointers to structs:

auto a = new S();
auto b = new S();
a = b; /* no problem */
