Unfortunately, some compilers are truly brain-damaged and
will claim that the prototypes do not match if you remove
that 'const' from the declaration. As I recall, there was
a complaint to this effect several years ago; I think it
was an HP compiler.
Anyway, it may be unnecessary now. It certainly is silly.
