This is a good point. It seems we're subjecting all classes to certain
limitations for the benefit of a subset of those classes.

Did you saw the proposal of feep/tgehr on #d ?
It basically state that you can overload a const method with a non const
one if :
- You don't mutate any data that belong to the parent.
- You are prevented to create any immutable instance of that classe or
any subclasse.
