Re: [perl #34002] [PATCH] 'const' for ParrotIOLayerAPI instances

[MrJoltCola]

They are well defined at the moment, but the author's intent of the API was 
to have them
mutable.

A xxx_layer_api seems rather const to me, constituted from a bunch of
well defined functions. A different set of functions would create a
different API - probably.

Layer and layer API members may be changed at runtime. Yes, the current 
structure
members are all static, but they don't have to be.

All instances of ParrotIOLayerAPI could be declared as 'const' in the IO
subsystem.
I hope that it's an improvement (better & safer code) and not a problem for
future feature.
