Allowing the caller to mutate the return value is fine because the caller
had a non-const |this| to begin with.  We're not making anything less
const-safe.  Casting away const on |this|, OTOH, allows you to mutate
objects even when you never had permission to begin with.  Much different.

In any case, my intent is to proceed as Darin and I discussed.
