  92   this is a warning hack. The idea is to use this everywhere that we
  93   get the "discarding const" warning from gcc. That doesn't actually
  94   fix the problem of course, but it means that when we do get to
  95   cleaning them up we can do it by searching the code for
  96   discard_const.
  97
  98   It also means that other error types aren't as swamped by the noise
  99   of hundreds of const warnings, so we are more likely to notice when
 100   we get new errors.
 101
 102   Please only add more uses of this macro when you find it
 103   _really_ hard to fix const warnings. Our aim is to eventually use
 104   this function in only a very few places.
 105
 106   Also, please call this via the discard_const_p() macro interface, as that
 107   makes the return type safe.
