"shouldn't happen" may be too strong :-)
We would like valac generated code to compile without warning, but
that's not an easy task and it doesn't bring much.

And btw, I don't see what problem there could be when passing char** to
a "const gchar* const*", maybe your compiler is a bit too paranoid? (and
maybe there is a complicated corner case I don't see).
