[Quantlib-dev] properties() method of ObjectHandler::Object class.

[Slava M. <Sla...@ro...>]

Greetings,

I noticed that method properties() in ObjectHandler::Object class
declared as non-const:
const boost::shared_ptr<ValueObject>& properties();

Is it intended? If yes, could someone tell me the reason?
Wouldn't it better to have the following?

const boost::shared_ptr<ValueObject>& properties() const;

Thanks,

Slava
