For what it's worth I'm all for them. Callbacks are annoying with them
(const void * in -> void * out et al) and I really dislike having to
cast. However they can improve performance, and even better can avoid
real programmer bugs (const char * == not free, char * == I need to
free etc ;-).
For real fun, some heavy use of restrict would also be a major asset,
but that takes real effort as you are making a quite strong set of
guarantees to the compiler.
