Readme for const-0

[back to package description]

const

Hackage

This package provides a small shim around the data types and operations in Foreign and Data.Primitive for emulating const-correctness from a C perspective.

In the future it'd be nice to have a proper const-cast that can handle nested ConstPtr's, etc. but this suffices for my current usecases. Patches welcome!
