I would support changing to always returning a reference and would happily approve a PR that did so. Historically a number of methods have returned owned references as a quirk of being based on equivalent methods in C++, where returning references is potentially error prone. In Rust I agree this is a code smell we should fix. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
