The type compatibility rules all become more complicated.
For instance, you can assign a char * to a const char *,
but not the other way around.
The parsing gets more complicated as well. I'm not even
confident I know all the places you're allowed to insert
a 'const' into a C declaration, and what they all mean.
It's all doable, but it will require some careful thought.
