Details:

If you do something like this:

const unsigned char version = 1;
[[coder encodeValueOfObjCType:@encode(typeof(version)) at:&version];

an exception is thrown, because the typestring is "rC" where the 'r' type
specifier means 'const', but encodeValueOfObjCType:at: doesn't skip type
specifiers. I think it should; Mac OS X does.
