Where's the DIP to migrate to C++-style const? That is the predicate
for basically every important development I've seen lately...
including this one.
If you want a DIP, write one! But I suggest the rvalue ref one first.
We have discussed this on IRC that const needs a redesign.
The problem is, without building a list of examples of where it fails we
cannot really start the redesign process.
But once we do, I'm in.
