Abuse of 'const' ?

[John Emmas <johne53 tiscali co uk>]

Occasionally, I've noticed a couple of things like this when building Glib:-

// glib/gvariant.h
GLIB_AVAILABLE_IN_ALL
const gchar **g_variant_get_bytestring_array (GVariant *value, gsize 
*length);


// glib/gvariant.c
static gpointer
g_variant_valist_get_nnp (const gchar **str, GVariant *value)
{
        // some stuff
        return g_variant_get_bytestring_array (value, NULL);
}

This has the effect of converting const** into non-const gpointer. Is it 
worth reporting this kind of thing in bugzilla?
