The point of the "const" attribute is to give the compiler hints about
behaviour of functions if it only has the function prototype but no body
around. But inline functions are the ones where the compiler *always*
has the body around, hence the "const" decorator is really just noise:
the compuler can determine the constness on its own, just by looking at
the code.
Hence, drop the decorators, it's just noise. And a source of errors, as
675fa49f69 has shown.
