 There is an issue, that I've found, which is related with access
 protection of the constant objects. Consider this piece of code, which is
 derived from tutorial:

 (sorry about not pasting it right there, but comment slashes was
 disapearing)

 Though object is constant, while serializing it, values of its members
 change, because object is cast to non-const in the implementation of
 serialization. It of course causes program to behave unpredictably.

 If the serialize() method would be forced to have the const qualifier,
 there would be no problem, as no changes of members can be done in the
 method.
