I recently discussed the same issue on IRC, (due to #45982) we can't get
rid of resources in constants completely as we need that for STDIN,
STDOU, STDERR constants.
We might still block users from doing but I don't see real benefit from
doing that - I think it's ok to have undocumented features ... :-)
