That's caused by string literals not being const, which I've already
acknowledged is a flaw in the language (but an unavoidable one).

I think you'll find fewer string literals in production code than in
demo code and code written by students.  String data is more commonly
taken from command-line arguments, files, and so forth.  And any data
that shouldn't be modified should be defined as "const" in the first
place, so no cast is needed.

For non-toy programs, rather than using a string literal directly, you
can use it as the initializer for a "const char*" or "const char[]"
object.

    const char *target = "abc";
    const char *source = "def";
    strcpy(target, source); /* triggers a diagnostic */

> A bit of an imposition though to add everywhere.

Nobody has suggested adding casts "everywhere".  Casts might be
necessary in some *rare* cases where you actually need to override
const.

Do you have an example not involving string literals?

The "const" on the definition of strlen's parameter does not result
in any additional warnings.  Omitting the "const" *would* result
in additional warnings.

For example:

    size_t hypothetical_strlen(char *s);
    const char *message = "hello";
    strlen(message);              /* ok */
    hypothetical_strlen(message); /* triggers a diagnostic */

The diagnostic occurs because, even though hypothetical_strlen()
presumably won't attempt to modify the string, its author failed to
specify that.

Now you could omit the const on the definition of "message" (and in fact
that was the only option before const was added to the language by the
1989 ANSI C standard).  But then you would have no way to assert that an
object will not be modified, or that a function will not attempt to
modify an object whose address is passed to it.
