//Regarding the const_cast - normally you should not modify an object which is in an sdt::set.
//The reason is that objects in a set are stored sorted in a tree so they can be accessed quickly,
//and changing the object directly can break the sorting. However, in our case we have provided a
//custom sort operator for the set which we know only uses the position to sort. Hence we can safely
//modify other properties of the object while it is in the set.
