CWG2514 Modifying const subobjects

[jensmaurer]

CWG2514 seeks to allow relaxing the rules for modifying const objects:

• const subobjects of non-const complete objects can be modified
• objects with dynamic storage duration are not const objects
• (not in this issue, but related) function parameter objects are not const objects

Note the distinction between "const object" and "lvalue of const type"; the latter is not touched.

CWG solicits the advice of SG12 in handling this issue.

CWG2514 was discussed during the Thursday AM session in Kona in EWG/SG12.

The room unanimously decided that this is something we need a paper for, so Alisdair offered to find an author to provide one.

EWG St. Louis: GDR volunteered to write a paper tightening the rules.
