+/* The 'keywords' parameter of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords has type
+   'char **'.  However, string literals are const in C++, and so to
+   avoid casting at every keyword array definition, we'll need to make
+   the keywords array an array of 'const char *'.  To avoid having all
+   callers add a 'const_cast<char **>' themselves when passing such an
+   array through 'char **', we define our own version of
+   PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords here with a corresponding 'keywords'
+   parameter type that does the cast in a single place.  (This is not
+   an overload of PyArg_ParseTupleAndKeywords in order to make it
+   clearer that we're calling our own function instead of a function
+   that exists in some newer Python version.)  */
