This snippet is easy: it defines an immutable wrapper around a sequence type (list, deque, etc) which allows a class, function or module to expose a read only version of a sequence to the outer world. A constant wrapper around mapping types could also be defined in a similar manner.

You have to mildly trick Windows, but it is possible to put a bitmap image on your console. Uses a flock of WinApi calls. Works well with the free PellesC compiler and Dev-C++. This is a Windows Console Application. Drop me a comment, if you have luck with another compiler.
