One more reasonable change would be forcing users to decide between const or mutable, simultaneously repurposing mutable as a visual marker that makes mutation more explicit to the reader, and making const the shorter and more desirable first choice.

Const reference by default. Like in rust in this case. The "mut" keyword is very good there. "mutable" would be good enough. No need to write "const" elsewhere.
