jwe,

I saw your recent changeset

summary:     don't declare figure::properties::toolkit as mutable

which removes an instance of the mutable keyword.

Should we make this a Task on Savannah?  The use of mutable seems very
occasionally necessary, but also very often a hack where it might be better
to re-think the code.

I used grep and found 53 instances of the word in libinterp/ and 8 in
liboctave/.  The ones in libinterp are clustered in the MeX interface which
probably isn't worth scrubbing.

Just a thought,
Rik
