There is a need to specify const or non-const access to a non-const object which is not currently possible with the "boundaryField()" access function the const-ness of the return of which is defined by the const-ness of the object for which it is called. For consistency with the latest "tmp" storage class in which non-const access is obtained with the "ref()" function it is proposed to replace the non-const form of "boundaryField()" with "boundaryFieldRef()". Thanks to Mattijs Janssens for starting the process of migration to "boundaryFieldRef()" and providing a patch for the OpenFOAM and finiteVolume libraries.
