And another point: Whether C/C++ have or don't have qualified array types,
still the difference between the "const caca *" and "caca *" types is a "const"
qualifier being applied to some part of the "caca *" base type. Therefore the
types must be compatible when the automatic type conversion involved only adds
"const" qualifiers to the type. Therefore the warnings are not legitimate.
