# Require concept methods to take `const this`?
# Method Qualifiers
`std::is_const` should be able to handle it: https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/is_const
Rust allows declaring immutable, mutable, and consumed arguments (including `self`).

`is_const` could be used to declare the class is const for an entire concept, but don't think you
could require const-ness for only certain methods. Can use `const_cast` to assert "constness"

C++ can use `const_cast` to assert "constness" of `this` and method arguments:

Rust allows both arbitrary `self` and extension traits. Arbitrary self forms the basis of the
