-// It's important to note that variable pointers and constant pointers
-// are different types.
-//
-// Given:
-//
-// var foo: u8 = 5;
-// const bar: u8 = 5;
-//
-// Then:
-//
-// &foo is of type "*u8"
-// &bar is of type "*const u8"
-//
-// 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).
