It is not a big deal, these are only tests... On the other hand, I am
forced to change constnes of my method only to be able to use it in
Boost.Test; not because my method actually needs to become non-const
because of internal class matters... This is not good C++, don't you
agree? Anyway, like I said, I can live with that... BTW, sorry if this
has been posted before...
