I believe ECMAScript got the name wrong.  They used the `const` name from 
C, in which it has always led to a great deal of confusion.

But the fact that it can change on every iteration is not an issue.  
That's the whole point of block-level scoping.  It does not contradict 
the central notion of this as an immutable reference.
