opening files in read-only mode

[Sergey 'Jin' Bostandzhyan]

Hi,

sorry to bring this up a second time, basically I have exactly the same
issue as described in this post (which stayed unanswered):
http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/taglib-devel/2008-April/000943.html

I need to be able to open the files in read only mode; I tried achieving this
by subclassing, but got nowhere. So unless I am missing something, it would
be very nice to get the ability to do something like 

TagLib::FileRef f("name", ro_parameter) 

Is there any chance that the API could be extended to support this?

Kind regards,
Jin
