that's not my reason. I just proposed the (const == var) form on another
project I'm on and it turned into a real storm, and reasonable arguments
were presented about why it's not that great an idea. I am also allergic to
rewriting large swathes of code without a really solid way to test
everything that's changed. I've already seen what happens when an
enthusiastic vendor makes global changes to code they can't test. No script
or compiler is perfect. It should 'just work', of course, but we know how
well that goes in practice.

There's a lot more to it than 'ron is very opposed'.
