Yeah, but it's a minor issue for a 28 patchset, I don't know if there
are some other major things still to do so that a v5 is expected.

If anybody is interested, reviewing APIs and interfaces with focus on
some data structure and const is relatively easy, compile test is
typically enough. The hard part is to find the missing ones. There's no
compiler aid thad I'd know of (-Wsuggest-attribute=const is not for
parameters), so it's been reading a file top-down for me.

Agreed, one patch on top is probably the least intrusive way.
