volatiles/consts inside structs in dpANS C

[Henry Spencer]

As I recall (my copy isn't handy), the latest draft says that const,
volatile, etc. inside a struct sort of pop to the surface when you attempt
something like an assignment.  So assigning to a struct with a const
member is illegal.  Personally, I think such "buried qualifiers" should
simply be illegal, since they are useless...
