Well... We know the object's actual type is not const, since we
allocate all objects of this type from GCable memory. Conceptually, the
object is not modified, we're just lazily performing an expensive
rearrangement of the internal representation that we would have done
upfront if we weren't trying to save that expense. This would be a
perfect case for mutable, if only gengtype didn't get confused by it.
OTOH, we could drop a tiny amount of constification in error.c and avoid
the problem altogether, as in the following incremental patch:

Does this incremental change make it ok (pending retesting), or should I
look into adding mutable support to gengtype, or something else?
