It cannot mean anything meaningful; it's completely useless.

For example, what could one think of standard library functions whose
prototypes are:

   char *strstr(const char *haystack, const char *needle);

   int execve(const char *filename, char *const argv[],
              char *const envp[]);

Ok, enough of C.
