Slightly OT, the "scoped const" proposal I made a while back would help 
solve this:

The main complaint from Andrei and Walter seems to be that any new features 
or solutions that involve const will make it "too complicated."  If you want 
to know my response to that, read my latest comment:

IMHO, I think Walter and Andrei hide behind the "can't do that because it 
will make people like const less" defense much too often, especially when it 
is a purely political defense (one that cannot ever be disproven unless the 
proposal in question is implemented).
