Why doesn't GHC know about const?
Because the Ptr type doesn't indicate const-ness (perhaps it
should).
If it did, could we read constant strings without
unsafePerformIO?
That would be unsound since a const pointer doesn't necessarily point to
const data. Constness here only means that the data can't be modified
through this particular pointer.
