The wierd thing is that you actually might want to write to values in
"constant space" Often you compile with some constants that at run time you
want to "tune" until you figure out what they really ought to be. We tend to
call them "rubber constants". They've got to have the pragma Volatile
applied to them and you've got to be able to plug them in the embedded
system so you can see what it does.

In my current hypothetical app, this might not be a problem since it is
looking at mostly doing testing of logic rather than tuning of constants,
but I'd prefer to be able to zap anything in "data" space.
