Symmetry is good in a language, because it makes the compiler smaller, the
language manuals smaller, and makes it simpler for programers to learn the
language. But breaking symmetry is acceptable if this helps avoid bugs.

A thread where "Manu" has found a problem caused by const prefixing:

I invite people to add more cases in this thread.
