ok to push

Interestingly enough, I've just read about it few days ago - that const
modifiers do *not* have to be exactly the same, the compiler can be lax
about it, because these const modifiers do not mean anything for the caller.

So, this strictness could be considered a bug in that Solaris C++ compiler.
