Usually, it does. But presenting me with a fake and
obviously-not-logical-and-useful version of constants didn't really
say anything about why is having constants such a bad idea :-)
Just like presenting me with a rotten apple doesn't prove
anything general about that fruit.

I'm not into endless/pointless advocacy; I'm really curious.

And - as I've answered to someone else - I dont't *require* anyone
to change anything in the language. I just miss the feature and can't
really think of a sensible reason why it so wrong.

Best regards,
Waldek
