(Forgive me for preaching, done from the vantage point of a very stubby soapbox.)
One thing which I would not mind seeing throughout the gegl code is the systematic use of the const keyword. My understanding is that the const keyword can also be used effectively to indicate to the compiler that it can optimize without worrying about aliasing (of course, if the object is not const, the restrict keyword is the only weapon). If is also good for documentation, because it allows one (me!) to find out easily which arguments can be changed by a function. (Akin to "classical" fortran subroutine documentation: declare the input arguments first, then the arguments which are both input and output, then those which are strictly output.
