Thanks, Nikolay, it's interesting information, when I tried to search before
I posted, I didn't use "const", only "read only" so did not find anything. I
already see that it never would be implemented the similar way since in
contrary to  C++ const objects in pascal already can do whatever they want.


Also searching now, found a post

http://community.freepascal.org:10000/bboards/message?message_id=256912&forum_id=24082

Where was question about const, but it seems that primary discussion was
about optimization, not preventing from occasional modification.
