Ooh... I just love seeing more 'const'.
Now if we can just convice Guido that const is a Good Thing(tm) ...

I recently added a single const to PuTTY and had to change 30 other
files before it would compile again. :-) I think this was a good thing,
though.

Heh. No, I was referring to the interpreter internals. The C
implementation doesn't use 'const' in any of the APIs or even the internal
functions. Guido has resisted because of 'const poisoning'. He doesn't want
to have to take a mad swath through all the code adding const everywhere
just to get it to compile (again) after beginning to add const.

Aha, and that strict type checking makes sense for scripting languages,
too... oh wow... :-)
