I don't want to introduce defining of "real constants" in Emacs.
It would be added complexity that we don't need, and that
as far as I can see does not serve a purpose.
The motivation for the suggestion appears to be an idea of
completeness. Emacs has a bit that makes a symbol constant, so why
not add a construct to set that bit. But adding features for mere
completeness would mean doing a lot of extra work for little or no
benefit.
Please don't propose new Emacs features for mere completeness' sake.
