const foo_matrix_t foo_peek_matrix () is what I grew used to do in such
cases. I find the naming convention great because it allows me to read
code which I have no knowledge about and understand its memory-
allocation strategy without having to read header files to scan for
const keywords or, worse, documentation.

my 2 cents,
Mathieu
