Re: more constraints

I complained about C++'s lack of possibility to make some class members read-only on certain level of access protection (public, protected). Well, it is possible with references, but is just solution at syntax level - it needs additional storage, require two separate entities and proper initialization:

class Class {
 public:
  Class() : val(_val) {}

  const int& val; // const ref

  void set_val(int newval) {_val = newval;}

 private:
  int _val; // value
};

I don't like this code...
