In my opinion, the difference *is* purely esthetic (apart from the
fact that the "const" version doesn't work in C).

I guess that English is not your first language, so perhaps you're
not aware that the word "stupid" is quite insulting.  I suggest
not using it in a technical discussion like this.  (No offense;
your English is certainly better than my own nonexistent Polish.)

Despite the similarity of the words "const" and "constant",
they're really not the same thing in C.  A "constant expression"
is, roughly, an expression that can be evaluated at compile time,
and that can be used where you'd use a literal constant like 42.
(I say "roughly" because the language defines which expressions
are to be treated as constant expressions; there are expressions
that a particular compiler *can* evaluate at compile time that
don't qualify.  It's necessary to have a consistent definition for
all compilers; the set of constant expressions doesn't expand as
compilers become more clever.)

The keyword "const", on the other hand, really means "read-only";
it means that an object's value may not be modified after it's been
created and initialized.  For example, this:

    const time_t now = time(NULL);
    srand(now);
    const int r = rand();

is perfectly valid, even though the compiler cannot possibly
determine the values of "now" and "r" before the program executes.
It just means that, for example, "r++" is not allowed.

C++ has added a special-case rule, that if an object is declared
"const" (read-only), and its initialization is a constant expression,
then the object's name can be used as a constant expression.
(I'm probably not stating the rule *quite* correctly, but that's
close enough.)

Any program that uses any header (<stdio.h>, <stdlib.h>, etc.) must
use the preprocessor.  The preprocessor is absolutely part of the
language; it's defined that way by the ISO C standard.  You can't
avoid it.  If you dislike the preprocessor that much, perhaps you'd
prefer some other language.

[...]

You'd like C to permit the name of a const-defined object as a
constant expression, as C does.  I think most of us agree with you.
But the plain fact is that C doesn't support that, and it's not
going to any time soon.

You have two and only two options:
1. Use C.
2. Don't use C.

Make your choice and move on.
