We shouldn't be suggesting adding a `*` unless that would actually make sense in context. Eg, given:
```c++
const int *const p;
const int *const q;
p = q;
```
... we should not suggest a dereference -- the problem is clearly that `p` is `const`, and adding a `*` doesn't help.
I suspect we simply don't have enough information to do this from within `CheckForModifiableLvalue`.
