Constant functions are not allowed to mutate anything. Thus, binding to an

argument with a mutable pattern is not allowed. For example,

const fn foo(mut x: u8) {

is bad because the function body may not mutate `x`.

Remove any mutable bindings from the argument list to fix this error. In case
408+
you need to mutate the argument, try lazily initializing a global variable
409+
instead of using a const fn, or refactoring the code to a functional style to
410+
avoid mutation if possible.
