What you could consider in C++ is to fully encapsulate your field 
values and use member functions to access them. Which is 
considered good modelling anyway.

So if you access a member as "get_child() const", you return a 
const reference, which makes it transitive.

What is annoying in C++ is that there is no getter/setter 
syntax...
