Hi!

Since we talk so much about constantness in another post :),
I am just wondering why the operator* (and related operator)
in Iterator classes sometimes returns a const reference to an entity like
inline const Facet& operator*() { return *operator->(); }
and sometimes not as in
inline Cell& operator*() { return *operator->(); }

Should that not be consistent and even better should not both version be provided, as in
inline const Facet& operator*() const { return *operator->(); }
and                             (^^^ there should be a second const)
inline Facet& operator*() { return *operator->(); }
?
