Thanks for clarification. I did not check Qt Creator with gdb patched by me
(because I cannot force it to use custom gdb), I have just made a few
assumptions based on how it looks from inside. Maybe I am wrong.

However, I don't think that "const" and "&" is unhelpful noise I can remove
these changes from my patch.

P.S. I have just checked Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 and find out that it
shows "const" and "&" too.
