1	class Base {
2	public:
3	BaseClass();
4	};
5	extern TakesOne(BaseClass*&);
6	BaseClass::BaseClass()
7	{
8		BaseClass *equalsThis = this;
9		TakesOne(equalsThis);
10		TakesOne(this);
11	}

This causes C++2.0 to tell me "reference to const object" on line 10
Other than the workaround in lines 8&9, how would I write line
10 so that the compiler liked it?  Clearly I am missing some
simple thing, it seems like this should work.
