You're the first person that has ever expressed such a need, to my
knowledge. So I'm pretty certain that the number of people needing this is
not "many".
This situation has never happened to me personally. That could be because
I've almost never written an access-to-constant (and when I have, it usually
didn't work and I ended up changing it).
In any case, this will be a tough sell to the ARG, since it is clearly
adding more ways to write erroneous programs. That's considered the wrong
direction for a language focused on safety.
Randy.
