Oh, my fault. I did not notice that my tcl workspace was switched to 8.3 
branch.

"const" was introduced in ANSI C (aka C89) and it is reserved word. The patch 
is correct because even if Tcl_GetObjType() returns "Tcl_ObjType *", the 
result is compatible with "Tcl_ObjType const *" (or "const Tcl_ObjType *").
