You call a non-const overload of operator[], so theoretically it can
change the vector (if it's not prohibited by the standard). Actually,
even if it were the const overload, it could change some mutable
internal object state (again, it's worth reading what the standard
says about it), so I guess you can't treat the operator[] as a pure
"reader". Anyway, in your case it's not so important, as you use the
regular mutex, not shared_mutex.
