Therefore, my proposal is to remove the .globalconst directive; whenever you need to have a global const, use .const outside of a subroutine. whenever you need to have a local const (in a sub), use .const inside a subroutine.
If we're going to remove one, let's deprecate .const outside of sub blocks, and make .globalconst mean a global constant everywhere. Consistency is a good thing, but so are clear distinctions between similar-but-different things.
