in reply to const correctness

First off, Perl has Readonly and constant which provide the same functionality. And, every single (usable) OO framework on CPAN allows you to specify accessors as separate from mutators, should you so choose.

Now, to some commentary.


My criteria for good software:
  1. Does it work?
  2. Can someone else come in, make a change, and be reasonably certain no bugs were introduced?
