I perfectly understand the reason to put a 'const' on those functions.

My point is that looking how other libraries do, including GLib, almost
I never saw the use of a 'const' in other place than strings. Taking a
look, for instance, in the GList, GObject or GTimeVal API, there is no
trail of 'const' in any parameter than strings, even when the
object/struct is not modified.

I'm not telling if this is good or bad; just I would prefer to stick the
usual way of using the 'const'.
