Assuming you don't intend to stop here, a series with multiple patches logically
gradually expanding the const scope would be better than sending a single patch?

Thanks,

Yes, but that would mean more work, which I'm certainly willing to do,
but only if I'm confident the patches are going to be accepted. So
this tiny patch is a trial.
In v1, Lorenzo had expressed general objections to merging
const-correctness patches.
I don't want to waste time with something that's going to be rejected
anyway. I've been there so often, so often has there been one guy who
just rejects my work, after similar patches (by others) had been
merged.

I have a pending patch which constifies compound_order() and page_size()
so you needn't bother with those.
