Subject: ISSUE #?? Proposal: const attribute for input params

Hi all,

Since today is the deadline [ and we Germans always need to have the last word ;-) ] I would like to enter another proposal I
already said once, but forgot to include in the ISSUE list:

Provide all parameters declared as INPUT (and only them) with the const keyword on the C side of the API. By doing so the compiler
on the C side can validate that the corresponding C value is not being overwritten.
IMHO it makes sense to use such built-in functionality whenever it is possible -- especially at no cost.
