Comment (by ramey):

 Though object is constant, while serializing it, values of its members
 change,

 value change ONLY when being saved.  You example only shows saving.
 Perhaps you might want to test loading into a const object?  Note that
 saving REQUIRES a const object for reasons described in the documentation

 because object is cast to non-const in the implementation of
 serialization. It of course causes program to behave unpredictably.

 I'm not seeing this.  I would need to see more information and perhaps a
 small test to verify this.
