Call me stupid. Anything more complex than "const char *" and I can
never figure out where to put the const to express what's desired.

If "const char * const *" means what we want it to, then feel free to
return that, (and fix up existing cases). But maybe add a little block
of example code to the documentation of the function so that idiots like
me can still figure out how to declare the right kind of variable to
call the function.
