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