Semantically? No.

Syntactically the "group the const members together" is a lot cleaner,
imho. Not just from a "just a single const" standpoint, but from a
"code as documentation" standpoint.

But I guess to avoid the clang issue, we could do the "mark individual
fields" thing.

(It turns out that sparse gets this wrong too, so it's not just clang).
