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.

This might best be handled by a comment warning that the constant must
be a constant (or in parameter) because of its later use.
