I think it would be useful to add 'extract constant' refactoring,
vaguely similar to 'extract procedure':

procedure P;
begin
  x := y + 17;
end;
=>
procedure P;
const
  LocalConst = 17;
begin
  x := y + LocalConst;
end;

Refactoring dialog should request the name of the constant,
and, optionally:
1) Whether to replace all other instances of the literal with the same
constant name
2) Whether to put the constant at the procedure or unit level.
