Hm. Isn't a local variable together with a local function
modifying the local variable a viable option? There is no
'Access then, but only "access" in a logical sense. The
variable/constant is not passed to the function but still
visible and accessible to the function. One could even wrap
them both in the same local package. The package might not
establish coupling in a type, but nevertheless it establishes
coupling of things that belong together.
