Either way, why does it matter if we're dealing with a
pointer-to-const?
It doesn't.
The error/warning or whatever for using a "const" is
unrelated to this.  It's being considered what it means
to load a pointer to a const object  and whether
or not this should be trapped.  This is the subject
of a Track Item.
This is not a pointer to a const object. It is a const pointer to a
mutable object.
A const* ptr_to_item_in_B_items;

	is a pointer to a constant (immutable) A

A * const ptr_to_item_in_B_items;

	is a constant pointer to a mutable A object

The example has the former. Or did I miss something?
