Should arguments to PTS manipulation functions be const qualified?

[Former user]

Originally reported on Google Code with ID 113

The upc_threadof(), upc_phaseof(), and upc_addrfield() functions don't actually access
the data pointed-to by the argument, they merely inspect the pointer-to-shared itself.
 Therefore, shouldn't they take 'shared const void *' as opposed to 'shared void *'?

This is only a small part of the larger problem detailed in issue 19 and issue 20 (both
deferred to 1.4), namely the functions also require a cast when passing an explicitly
strict or relaxed qualified PTS. The const qualifier is discussed in this comment:
http://code.google.com/p/upc-specification/issues/detail?id=19#c12 and whatever resolution
is made for issue 19 should cover this as well.
