  90 I've changed my mind and removed a few consts so that this funny cast\r
  91 isn't necessary.  (It also turned out that when I tried this before,\r
  92 I'd given up just a smidgen before removing enough consts to make it\r
  93 work.)\r

 101 \r
 102 I have not, however, changed my mind about this.\r
