I've never seen a version of strstr
that didn't have a (const char *) type parameter.

and adding a second function with a
distinct name was considered too confusing.

I see that K&R1 doesn't mention strstr, but it does talk about strcat,
strcmp, strcpy, and strlen (and something called strsave, which is
equivalent to strdup, but is presented as an example). This was
before the "const" keyword was added to the language.
