Add a getSubject() method which simply returns the subject, that way
you can protect getSubject() without any question of future
portability.

Hmm, that worked huh?  :-/

Hopefully you got the mail I sent to Brian and CC'd to you.  The
response is that we need to find a proper solution to the mutability
problem rather than open up intSet and BTree to an attack.  Actually,
in terms of OO purity, using a getThread() method is much better, so
what you did is *not* a hack.  :-)
