As an additional data point, the Intel ia64 compiler (Version 5.0.1, Build
20010705) produces

    M1AFvvE

or, member of A of type "function of (void) returning void".  Which I think
we can all agree is wrong; the const doesn't appear anywhere.

Does anyone have access to an HP compiler for comparison?  Is anyone at HP
still reading this list?
