Ok, this is something I've been curious about ... and maybe this is a
dumb question.

If a const is just a pointer to a variable that isn't allowed to be
changed ... is there any reason I couldn't take the address of that
pointer, assign it to another (non-const) variable, and change the
const's value that way?
