I faintly remember a version of MSVC++ mishandling these, i.e.
handling foo (int) and foo (int const) as different signatures,
which was particularly annoying with virtual members.
I fear these const's can mislead developers not absolutely
up-to-date with all the exact details of the c++ standards.
