This discards the const qualifier. You should get a warning for this.
I do. I thought of adding the cast in the user calls. But I think the better way around is to do what I did originally, use ff_const59 with the return cast.
And remove that cast post-bump.

But looking at this a bit more made me realize that a library user
that does not want to wait with const-correctness until the next major
version bump can't do so (without casts, that is):
avformat_open_input() does not accept a const AVInputFormat yet. Maybe
it would have been better to already accept it now (which means that
one has to cast a const away inside avformat_open_input() until the
next major bump)?

Furthermore, adding const will likely also lead to const-warnings wrt
av_opt_find(). This is bad and will need to be dealt with before the
next major bump. Maybe one should add versions of av_opt_find[2] that
accepts a const void* (this seems to be more of a problem for
av_opt_find2 because of its target_obj)?
