+ * General Thoughts
+ * ================
+ *
+ * For now: Only local variables are considered. Globals/namespace variables,
+ * paramters and class members are not analyzed.
+ * Parameters have a check already: readability-non-const-parameter
+ *
+ *
+ * Handle = either a pointer or reference
+ * Value  = everything else (Type variable_name;)
+ *
+ * Value Semantic
+ * ==============
+ *  - it is neither global nor namespace level                        + CHECK
+ *  - it never gets assigned to after initialization                  + CHECK
+ *    -> every uninitialized variable can not be const                + CHECK
+ *  - no non-const handle is created with it                          + CHECK
+ *    - no non-const pointer from it                                  + CHECK
+ *    - no non-const pointer argument                                 + CHECK
+ *    - no non-const reference from it                                + CHECK
+ *    - no non-const reference argument                               + CHECK
+ *    - no non-const capture by reference in a lambda                 + CHECK
+ *  - it is not returned as non-const handle from a function          + CHECK
+ *  - it address is not assigned to an out pointer parameter          + CHECK
+ *
+ * primitive Builtins
+ * ----------------
+ *  - it is not modified with an operator (++i,i++,--i,i--)           + CHECK
+ *  - it is not modified with an operator-assignment                  + CHECK
+ *
+ * objects
+ * -------
+ *  - there is no non-const access to a member
+ *  - there is no call to a non-const method                          + CHECK
+ *  - there is no call to an non-const overloaded operator            + CHECK
+ *  - there is no non-const iterator created from this type           + CHECK
+ *    (std::begin and friends)
+ *
+ * arrays
+ * ------
+ *  - there is no non-const operator[] access                         + CHECK
+ *  - there is no non-const handle creation of one of the elements    + CHECK
+ *  - there is no non-const iterator created from this type           + CHECK
+ *    (std::begin and friends)
+ *
+ * templated variables
+ * -------------------
+ *  - one can not reason about templated variables, because every sensible
+ *    operation is overloadable and different instantiations will result
+ *    in types with different const-properties.
+ *  - Example: operator+(T& lhs, T& rhs) -> modification might occur for this
+ * type
+ *    -> this fordbids `val = val1 + val2` val1 and val2 to be const
+ *  - only concepts give possibility to infer constness of templated variables
+ *
+ * Handle Semantic
+ * ===============
+ *  - modification of the pointee prohibit constness
+ *  - Handles follow the typ of the pointee
+ *
+ *  - no assignment to the target of the handle
+ *
+ * pointers
+ * --------
+ *  - match both for value and handle semantic
+ *
+ * references
+ * ----------
+ *  - only handle semantic applies
+ *  - references to templated types suffer from the same problems as templated
+ *    values
+ *
+ * forwarding reference
+ * --------------------
+ *  - same as references?
+ *  
+ * Implementation strategy
+ * =======================
+ *
+ *  - Register every declared local variable/constant with value semantic.
+ *    (pointers, values)
+ *    Store if they can be made const.
+ *    (const int i = 10 : no,
+ *     int *const = &i  : no,
+ *     int i = 10       : yes, -> const int i = 10
+ *     int *p_i = &i    : yes, -> int *const p_i = &i)
+ *  - Register every declared local variable/constant with handle semantic.
+ *    (pointers, references)
+ *    Store if they can be made const, meaning if they can be a const target
+ *    (const int *cp_i = &i : no,
+ *     const int &cr_i = i  : no,
+ *     int *p_i = &i        : yes, -> const int *p_i = &i
+ *     int &r_i = i         : yes, -> const int &r_i = i)
+ *  - Keep 2 dictionaries for values and handles
+ *
+ *  - Match operations/events that forbid values to be const -> mark then 'no'
+ *  - Match operations/events that forbid handles to be const -> mark then 'no'
+ *
+ *  - once the translation unit is finished, determine what can be const, by
+ *    just iterating over all keys and check if they map to 'true'.
+ *    - values that can be const -> emit warning for their type and name
+ *    - handles that can be const -> emit warning for the pointee type and name
+ *    - ignore the rest
+ *
+ * Open Questions
+ * ==============
+ *
+ *  - type conversions:
+ *    - one can overload the type conversion operation and modify a value of a
+ *      class -> implications?
+ *  - What about new, placement new and delete?!
+ *  - What about casts? If a value is used in a cast, should it not be const?!
+ *  - Ternary Operator?!
