Yes, thanks, I think "const correctness" is very useful for preventing
future errors during maintenance, and the static declarations are good
for not polluting the global name space.  I didn't even know about the
GNU __attribute__ syntax, but it also looks useful for catching future
problems at compile time.  I've incorporated your cleanup fixes into
the 3.6.0 release.
