This set of patches should be considered obsolete, except to document a rejected alternative. A revision to 
TIP #27 is in preparation, removing the "two-stub" approach that implemented wrappers for the non-CONST 
APIs, in favor of the assumption that the internal representations of CONST and non-CONST pointers are 
identical.
