digitalmars.D - Meaning of invariant

I could not find any explanation for the keyword 'invariant' in the PDF 
doc. Is it the equivalent of the C++ 'const' in at least some of the 
latter's usages ?

The only explanation for it existed as part of Contract Programming, but 
it seems to be used otherwise also.

If I recall correctly invarinats were not introduced until 2.0 so you 
won't find int in 1.0 documentation or usage.

I find it much easier to download a pdf document and view it locally. It 
also can be printed off, either in part or wholly, for studying away 
from a computer.
