Const pointer for HexapodDamage

[dogoepp]

Very little importance detail here. Since we use a pointer for extra damage information, would it make sense to use a pointer to const, or even a const pointer to const ?

The code concerned is in hexapod_dart -> hexapod.hpp:

struct HexapodDamage {
        HexapodDamage() {}
        HexapodDamage(const std::string& type, const std::string& data, void* extra = nullptr) : type(type), data(data), extra(extra) {}

        std::string type;
        std::string data;
        void* extra = nullptr;
};

It would make sense to not use a void*...

    std::string type;

But I want it to be able to add anything of any type.. I could make it a string and then parse it..
