I've suggested marking it `mutable` in an earlier comment, but @jhenderson prefers keeping `printMarkedUpRegName` instead. `printRegName` is the only method which needs to be const so this is not so bad change I think. I want to remove it if possible, btw.

I suppose that it can't be const: after all, it appends a new MarkupSpan into the output vector (which set by  `setMarkupSpans` in D65189).
