I think we're in violent disagreement. I fully understand what my code did, but people I've worked with and gone to school have been tripped up by statements like these. Stuff like this is all over exams.

I agree that we disagree. Your comment elsewhere:

Indicates, to me, that you see this as a strange behaviour that you're forcing the compiler into when in fact this is exactly the intended (and expected) semantics of const.
