"const char *" style is used in 85.9% of the cases. If you want to
revert those uses to "char const *" I'll support you, since I want the
consistency of a single style.

I don't. I have no problem spending time to replace "char const *" into
"const char *". Browsing through a code base that I want to get familiar
with and fixing a small annoyance doesn't sound bad to me.
