// You can always make a constant pointer to a variable, but you cannot
// make a variable pointer to a constant. This sounds like a logic puzzle,
// but it just means that once data is declared immutable, you can't
// coerce it to a mutable type. It's a safety thing (to prevent mistakes).
// You can always make a const pointer to a mutable value (var), but

// Think of mutable data as being volatile or even dangerous. Zig
