This is not a discussion thread. I think we've discussed enough. :)
Basically there are these possible const implementations (there are others,
but for the sake of simplicitly, I'll keep this poll to 2):
1) C++ style const, where you mark anything that should be const as such.
2) Parameters are const-by-default, and must be marked mutable otherwise.
Locals, fields etc. are still mutable by default.
Walter doesn't want to stray from option 1, because 2 is basically "too
weird."
Please reply with your choice, and maybe a small explanation of why.
I'll start this off by saying I'm definitely willing to try option 2. I
never really learned const-correctness in C++ because it looked so damned
awful. Option 2 makes more sense to me.
