At the moment, constants can be simulated by 0-arity functions. The main downside is the need to use parenthesis every time a constant is referenced. Also, function names start with lower-case letters, whereas it is customary to capitalize constant names.

We still don't have the syntactic sugar for constants. In particular, parsing them will be tricky and will probably require an extra pass to figure out that something is a constant.
