Subject: Re: [PATCH] fix warning about duplicate 'const'

I would suggest the existing practice (in nearby language) for this:

   (1) reject "direct" duplicate cv-qualifiers, .e.g.

         const const int i = 90;       // ERROR

   (2) accept duplicates that come from typedefs, e.g.

        typedef const int T;
        const T t = 3889;               // OK

and document that as a GNU extension to C90, and compatible with C++.
