Zeev, speaking of const, i have a feature request. why not accept "const" in the global context and create a compile-time global constant ? e.g.

    const FOO = 1 ;
    const BAR = 2;

    class Barbara {
        const Barbara::BUSH = FOO;
    };

i'd much prefer this as an alternative to the runtime define().

It's going to be runtime either way, because you could do if (...) { const FOO = 1; } else {const FOO = 2 }. Not sure if we want it as syntactic sugar for define() or not. Zeev
