#15 A value object is returned by reference.

[Markus Elfring]

The class "Ext2Partition" provides the following public interface so far.
string &get_linux_name();
https://github.com/mregmi/ext2read/blob/master/ext2read.h#L177

I find this approach wrong because value objects should not be returned by reference.
