   Sigh. "Unresolved external" linker error I've just been WTF at turns out to be that the const version of a UE function is NOT exported for some reason, while the non-const version is. I tend to try to pass const objects around if I'm not modifying them but can't in this case.

     @sinbad ... that's weird, why on earth?! I can see good reasons to provide both, but not exporting the const version seems such a bizarre ommission.

     @sinbad I presume this was added to fix a specific issue at the time, not to keep the const version internal. This change goes back to 2015 btw.

     @sinbad This always grinds my gears, why make the engine extensible then just not export stuff? Why?

     @JeremiahFieldhaven Is suspect there was an ambiguous function issue and this was the easy fix
