Hello.
All [*] functions currently accepting naked {{{STRING*}}} argument will accept {{{const STRING*}}}. Which includes public-facing API functions, VTABLEs, etc.

This is for making parrot const-correct in immutable-string world.

(Actual milestone should be 3.3)

[*] Parrot_str_pin and Parrot_str_unpin will stay in current form.
