You are defensing the ground I'm not attacking here.  I did not say
"Rodrigo said [foo] because it is what cool guys do".  I suspected
that earlier, but you cleared it out weeks ago.  Last e-mail, all I
said was "Rodrigo said [foo]".  And from your e-mail that I quoted,
any reasonable person would interpret you as having said that.  Of
course, if it was a misunderstanding, you can tell us what you really
meant to say.

And you haven't answered my question.  Buying into your "no const"
argument, why shouldn't I remove const from GList?
