  The function doesn't alter its input buffer: Reflect this in its
prototype. To avoid using any kind of cast, simply calculate the update
of "line" from the function's input and output.
---
Avoiding a cast the way it's done here is going to be useful in
subsequent patches (there'll be code added between the call and the
update of "line"), so switching to a cast is not really an option.
---
v3: New.
