A few comments about the comment below:
1. I don't know that it's fair to say that "most people" miss the point of
constants.
2. Another important purpose for constants, IMHO, is to make code more readable but avoiding
"magic" numbers (values that someone trying to understand the code is likely to wonder
about).
3. In fairness to "John Galt", the comment does NOT say that his example declares an
array, it says it's a work-around for making a constant that contains array data.
