right, we removed a lot of cont's some time ago, because it makes no
sense to use const GdaValue for the first parameter in all gda_value_
functions. GLib/GTK functions never take that const, so gda_value_
neither does it.

The thing here is if we really should return const in
gda_data_model_get_value_at.
