rb_load_file takes char *

[Kristof Bastiaensen]

Hi,

Is there any reason why rb_load_file takes a
char * instead of a const char *?
If possible, it would be more comfortable if rb_load_file
takes a const char * (for example when passing a string with
String::c_str()).

Regards,
Kristof

No reason but historical one. Thank you for the suggestion.
