You define in terms of functionality, but don't provide an explanation for the chosen point of view. One could say that constant arrays protect against modifications, which normal arrays don't. Hence, constant arrays do *more*.
I think the justification for Luke's POV is the number of operations each class provides. But my perspective agrees with Juerd - subclasses can remove functionality as well as adding it, and I definitely view "constant" as an add-on modifier, not a default that has to be overridden. -- Mark J.
