The mutable/immutable state pattern is a powerful way to optimize data structures that are rarely mutated. Correct use of const through the code makes using it much easier and safer. With adaption of PassRef/OwnPtr I can't think of any correct uses for Foo* foo() const. antti Moreover, for methods that return references to objects where call sites > are expected to take a strong reference, we should really be using > PassRefPtr<Foo> as the return type. > > Thoughts?
