That was my question because I don't think there is any difference here.
The fact that end is not modified anywhere in the loop will be quickly
discovered by compiler optimizations anyway.
I generally prefer to see const wherever it is possible, if only because
it functions like documentation. Whoever wrote the code is telling me
this variable will not change its value, etc.
