# Means that you are asking for compile time optimizations, and
# agreeing not
# to bless references to, or ascribe run-time properties to
# those scalars. So
# we've already got variables with constant values.
#
# I guess my question is, does the compile time optimization
# for the above
# case imply that you can't later do:
#
# $pre := $post;
#
# If it doesn't then I'll cease and desist... If it does, then wouldn't:
#
# my scalar $foo is constant = 'bar';
#
# be the 'type' general way to make both a scalar variable
# binding and its
# value constant?
Could you do C<%MY::{'$pre'} is constant> to lock the symbol table
entry?
