  Log Message:
  -----------
  reinstate const magic vtables

Magic vtables were originally made const in c910fea and except for one
bug that was rejected (GH #14450) has caused no reported problems that
I recall (or find).

9c376794d8 which has an unrelated commit message and changes related
to that commit message, removed the const-ness from magic vtables.

So this appears to have been accidentally removed.
