- A few months ago there was a discussion of whether the language should be
- extended so that const and non-const objects would have different
- constructors, the idea being that initialization for a const object might
- be different from initialization for a non-const object. My understanding
- is the committee has rejected that idea. Could someone please post a
- summary of the problems with the idea or point me to a place where I can
- find them?

- Thanks,
