The operators opSlice and opIndex of iota.Result should be const as they don't mutate the range. This allows passing the range as const to functions which only use those two operators.

The place for discussions about a small and very specific bug is in Bugzilla threads.

Larger general enhancement requests are probably better discussed first in the newsgroup.

This enhancement request is small and very focused, so I think discussing it here is enough (but advertising it the newsgroup too is good).

The problem is, if noone is interested in discussing these in the forums, noone will be interested in fixing these as it requires some effort. So all they do is add a little bit of noise and die.

Probably 70-80% of Bugzilla issues, if presented in the newsgroup, will produce no answers (or one-two answers top). Yet, many of them get fixed. Something similar happens for little enhancement requests.

Newsgroups are not the right place for most bugs discussions. Newsgroups are mostly for the ones that are controversial, or require large changes, or cause breaking changes, etc.
