Hi,

is it a good way to test if an object is a constant or not (or "in parameter" in a procedure)? Something in addition to declare it as a constant?

If I am sure an object is a constant (and can check it) then this can sometimes help to structure/optimize the code. I would like to have some redundancy and make sure an object is really constant when this is a prerequisite for a piece of code to be according to my intentions - i.e. if the object is messed with somewhere, then things could go wrong. So I would like some "local check" to be sure a constant is really a constant :-) Specially if many people are involved to change code over time.
