Out of curiosity, I did a little digging into this, well,
curiosity...

I committed that over a decade ago, and my notes mention some
of the difficulties with generic parser constification I was
having at the time, including having to fudge several places
with alloca.

So if there was a reason for it back then, it was a hack, and
it is now obviously long gone.
