Netcurrently has a somewhat lackluster use ofconst. Returned references should beconst; it's not okay to modify the referents. Accessors and some other functions can beconstmethods; it is okay to call them onconst Nets.A few changes need to be made to fix existing code. In particular
std::map::operator[]is not aconstmethod, so the somewhat more obscurefind(...)->secondneeds to be used instead in a couple places.(I need a few of these for a future PR, so I went ahead and took a pass over the whole
Netinterface.)If you find any of this
constness too intrusive, discuss.
