I always thought "readonly" was intended to protect from 
"modification" not from "deletion", so simply making the function 
consistent with the explorer would be the right thing to do.
It's like a "const" variable: you cannot change its value, but of 
course you should be able to free the memory it occupies if it 
goes out of scope or is otherwise detectable not used anymore.
