I was going to suggest trying to prevent similar bugs by declaring these
and other output parameters as `double *const foo` in tableam.h, but
doing that without adding the corresponding `const` in heapam_handler.c
doesn't even raise a warning.
Still, declaring them as *const in both places might serve as an
example/reminder for people writing their own table AMs.
