I have a patch coming that will do just that.
They just emulate (with minor changes) the property declaration handlers.

Just wish it didn't take me 3 days of troubleshooting to figure that out,
but I know A LOT more about php internals than I did before.

You cannot use ALLOC_ZVAL during PHP_MINIT.

If you look at zend_declare_property*() you'll find out how to declare your
consts. Maybe we could provide zend_declare_const*() inside the engine.
