Yes, he is, but you did not understand him.  He was making a language

"const" in C does not propagate as usefully as you would like.  Therefore,
the following sniplet is not violating C rules:

struct Foo { int *x; };
int foo (const struct Foo *p) { *(p->x) = 1; }

While I cannot change p->x, I can change what
That said, it still wouldn't hurt to add const for cases like g_hash_table_size.
