I don't like to say a variable that has no storage.  Even the literal
constants written in the body of your programs are loaded in memory and
the place they occupy *is* storage.

Of course, the whole idea that numbers represent themselves (and the
fact that in languages like C we cannot get the address of literal
number) encourages us to think like you do above, but I think that's not
a very good idea.
