Thanks for your patch. I'm not sure we want to do this, though.
Whether to say `const int*' or `int const*' is a "religious issue";
there are good arguments for both styles. I'm not sure why we should
change.
Ideally, we would say whatever the user is most used to, or whatever
was used in the code in question. I guess I don't see why I wouldn't
accept a patch to add a flag to switch between the two styles, but I
think we should keep the current style as the default.
