Re: [Gretl-devel] 'const' as input series

Apart from backward-compatibility issues, I'm not sure whether

_should_ work. One could argue that the series "const" is not passed as
an argument to f2() and therefore should not be visible inside the function.
OTOH I guess one could also take the position that "const" is basically
the same thing as the $-accessors which are always globally visible,
also inside functions... But then perhaps an explicit $const accessor
should be introduced? (And then the same for "time", "index", and so
forth I guess.)
If/when we have to for massive backwards-incompatible changes, I'd second
that. I'd also drop "genr dummy" in favour of
<hansl>
list SDUM = dummify($obsminor)
