Research direction

Investigate the cpplint rule 'runtime/references' which flags non const references. The false positive occurs for FastApiCallbackOptions&, which is required by the V8 fast API. Check the cpplint configuration or add a suppression for this specific pattern. Look at the cpplint source (cpplint.py) to understand how to modify the rule or add an exception. Review comments in the issue for suggested fixes.
