The type of a string literal is documented as "const rom char []", so
I would not drop the "const."  Note that the compiler appears to have a
defect in that an incorrect cast will suppress a type mismatch warning
when passing a pointer to "const rom char *".

You can always use a typedef if you want to save some typing.
