const getter

Most, if not all getters (generic function parameters are currently unstable) can be const functions https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#missing_const_for_fn

Great idea. :)

Just checked in, this is still unstable. :(

[Luro02]

This is stable

const fn get_value(&self) -> &String {
    &self.value
}

[Hoverbear]

Correct, but the generic case is not. :(

Any updates to this? It doesn't seem reasonable to put this on hold just because of a special case. What about adding a feature gate or an attribute to enable const getters?

I was working on a rewrite of this lib to better support features like this, but it's not done yet.

You're welcome to contribute a patch to add this feature, or as always, write the getters and setters yourself (as is probably best!).
