We, the undersigned understand and appreciate the rationale for and value of the practice of consistently putting const to the right of what it references. This is sometimes called Consistent const or East const.

We discourage authors and maintainers of coding guidelines from creating guidelines that preclude this style and in particular:

We call for the C++ Core Guidelines to at least remain neutral and to stop advocating the less “logical” style.

We call for WG21 to change its editorial policy on examples in the ISO standard to allow for this style and to show examples using this style.
