Not sure. "const" is required in ISO C. What does CONST mean?
I think CONST_IS_LOSING was instituted back in the Lucid Emacs
days by Jamie, because compiles would fail in unfixable ways if
you attempted to use const. I no longer remember the details.
We should try turning off CONST_IS_LOSING in the next beta and
see if we can make it work. ANSI/ISO C implementations were
pretty new back when CONST_IS_LOSING was put in; const may be fit
to use across all the major platforms now.
