Exactly the point of Randy. And as Jean-Pierre would say "a program is
written once and read many times" (or something like that).

So having "constant" is a very important point when reading the code
for maintenance. Actually a developer don't care about the compiler,
what is important is the "visible" semantic to the human reader.
