To be honest, I've been following the rule of using capital letters for things that should remain 'constant'. If everyone working on the project knows that, it works like a charm, never had any issues with it. But it's nice to have const now. So, I do see value in the const feature even if it doesn't protect me against a commit by the devil himself who changes the content of const objects. Long story short: If you want to be annoyed about this feature, then more power to you. I won't be.
