"const char *x" => "x is a pointer to characters which are constant"
"char const *x" => "x is a pointer that is constant, to characters
(which may be changed)"
"const char const *x" => "x is a pointer to constant characters and is
itself constant"

It's not the most obvious thing, and usually I don't use "const" in
declarations for this reason.
