Re: [Vala] 'const' in string parameter

[pancake <pancake youterm com>]

if the function receives a char* then it is a "ref string s" or "out 
string s", string is
obviously const, because the function will not modify it. You can also 
use directly
pointers using "char*", but "ref char s" is wrong.
