This patch means that application coders don't have to worry that the data will be changed and avoids the need for them to unconst.

I agree, but simply adding const there would break API/ABI compatibility, right?

Yes, because this is C++. Maybe you can keep this open for some future ABI break.

I didn't know how stable the API/ABI was meant to be now.
