Summary:                    Python wrapping of argument names beginning with
"const" fails
Description: 
Python wrapping of methods in VTK classes that have arguments starting with
"const" fail.  For example, if one adds this method to a class in vtkMy, it will
fail to be Python wrapped:

  virtual int AddConstraint(const char* constraintName);

The work-around is trivial, as simply renaming "constraintName)" to something
like "arg_constraintName" will work.  However, it is a head-scratcher to figure
out in the first place.

This affects versions 5.6 through 5.10, but not 5.4 and earlier.
