Why do you consider this cast "unsafe" ? If it's unsafe, then
all we've done is move the unsafety from the cast upwards to the
function prototype. I think what we're really doing here is fixing
the broken prototype of 'main', which should not have 'const'
because that's not how the C standard defines it.
