The question is that it may be fine to be `const` today but it becomes not the 
case later. So we may have to make const  function back to non-const function 
again. So one style to do such things is to understand that the new `const` 
decorated places are meant to be `const`. Otherwise I'll suggest to only mark 
the places that need to be change by the following patch as `const`.
