I'm looking at the following NSString prototype:
- (id)initWithCharactersNoCopy:(unichar *)characters
length:(unsigned)length freeWhenDone:(BOOL)flag

And wondering why characters is a unichar* and not a const unichar*.
Can this call really modify the buffer? I'm not making an
NSMutableString...

Note the "freeWhenDone:" part of that method. It will free the buffer you pass in at some future date if you pass in YES. I assume that is why.
