Sorry about that :-) But you know how you Ada guys get when people make
outmoded assumptions about your favorite language.
Anyway, const was in the ANSI C Standard, which was accepted in 1989.
The Rationale says that work on the Standard started in 1983, and also
says that const was borrowed from C++. So it appears that const started
showing up in C in the mid-1980s, around fifteen years ago. (As with C++,
implementations of near-Standard C arrived as drafts became available.)
