Yup, me too. We have eliminated many of these (mainly "casting away
'const'") warnings over the years. The ones that are still present are
nigh on impossible to avoid; most of them are instances of correct code
that just can't be expressed cleanly within the rules of C "const"
syntax.

Personally, I prefer to enable this warning, because if I notice any new
instance of it appearing (and often I *do* notice, despite the noise
level), usually it is a useful indication that something is wrong.

But a warning-free build is also very useful, so not enabling it is also
a good choice.
