i think what the usual understanding of const for an argument to callee
is, what is written at http://dlang.org/const3.html. that means for me,
that callee promises not to change the data itself. perhaps a bettr
description would be readonly.
usually you would think that no one else should change the data while
callee runs. but at least with c++ i could imagine running callee in a
thread with a reference to a const thing which changes underneath and
while callee is running.
