Using functions is the only way I know (still it's not that "read only", accessing from assembly code still allows modification). For pointer based types, you could give a copy of the instance instead of the original one (if you want a better read only semantics where the function has persistent return value).
Thanks, I'd reluctantly come to the same conclusion. "Read only" in that it doesn't expose a global variable which can be unintentionally written.
