We don't actually modify the struct object, so there is no
reason not to accept const versions (and this allows other
callsites, like the next patch, to use the decoration
machinery).

This allows you to add an arbitrary "decoration" of your choice to any
object. It's a space- and time-efficient way to add information to
arbitrary objects, especially if most objects probably do not have the
decoration.
