Description Justin Spahr-Summers 2009-11-07 03:01:49 UTC 
The methods of the std.socket.Address and std.socket.InternetAddress classes are not qualified const; thus, when trying to use const-safe structures containing addresses, a lot of casts are required. This problem is exacerbated by the fact that addresses aren't value types (structs).

Note that Address.name() can't be const, since it can be used (and is used, within std.socket) to populate the Address data.

Looks like this was taken care of in a later pull request:
