I haven't found it to cause all that many problems,
because passing a non-const pointer to something
declared as const, which is the most frequent
case, is okay. I can appreciate that some libraries
may be more troublesome than others in this regard,
though.

I've been trying to avoid dealing with const if at all
possible, because it will make the type checking code
considerably more complicated. But I haven't entirely
ruled it out.
