#Reference to mutable object that cannot be re-assigned?

Is it possible to have a variable that cannot be re-assigned, but can be mutated?
Kind of like const* foo in C++, or JS's const keyword.

If it isn't allowed, which seems like the case to me, I'm curious about this design choice.

const foo: *T = &bar; I suppose

just a constant pointer to a mutable value

Interestingly, this doesn't work:

const f: *Foo = &Foo{ .bar = 1 };

but this does:

var foo = Foo{ .bar = 1 };
const f: *Foo = &foo;

aye, memory has to live somewhere

temporaries are constant

Ah, right

Why are temporaries constant?
