> While GetSize in general is not a const function, it can be on a
> MemoryMappedFile. I propose to add a const override directly to the
> MemoryMappedFile.
> Alternatively we could add a const version on the RandomAccessFile level
> which would fail, if a const size getting (e.g. without a seek) isn't
> possible, but it seems to me to be a potential source of hard-to-debug bugs
> and spurious failures. At would at least require a careful analysis of the
> platform support of different size getting options.
