[Bug c++/18313] New: Missing warning for superfluous const's in return types

[reichelt at gcc dot gnu dot org]

The C++ frontend doesn't warn about superfluous const's in function
return types like the following (even with -Wall -W -pedantic):

=====================
const void bar();
const int foo();
=====================

This affects all compilers since 2.95.3.
The C frontend does warn about such situations.
