New submission from Serhiy Storchaka: Currently _Py_PackageContext has type "char *". But it is either NULL or a pointer to internal readonly UTF-8 representation of Unicode object. Adding the const qualifier makes it clear that the data is immutable. I don't think this change will break third-party code.
