Yes, but the question is whether someone is or has been using the 
current implementation.

The problem is that the constructor signature is wrong. It uses 'char *' 
instead of 'const char *'. A change ripples through several other files 
and may impact users /if/ the construct is in use.

If nobody is using the construct, then we can change the signature 
without repercussion. Otherwise, we need to have a deprecation period 
and announcement.
