Someone said that -fwritable-strings could be implemented in the front
end, but currently it isn't and that adds unwanted code to
the back end.

Perhaps it's quite a simple change to make string constants have type
"char[]" in the C and C++ front ends instead of "const char[]"?  (No,
I'm not volunteering).
