Yes, i know. And not only it's orthogonal to this thread, but it begs
a more fundamental question: why would anyone ever try to modify a
function argument passed by value. I think the point of the thread was
about whether or not to allow constness mismatches in function
arguments in the declaration and  the definition.

I'm still waiting for a technical rationale for ever doing either of these.
