The problem with const proposals

[Gregor Richards]

Not a single person on this board (and I mean NO ONE) has a grasp over 
everything that one can reasonably expect const to do. What we need to 
do is construct a complete list of features that the const system ought 
to have, so that any const proposal can be checked against the "good 
clean const fun" checklist. Instead, what we have is suggestion after 
suggestion, each with good points but each with fundamental flaws. We're 
never going to get anywhere like this because nobody knows what everyone 
needs.

Disclaimer: It is of course impossible to make a list that makes 
everyone happy. C'est la vie.
