I think it does if you use the function.
All that matters is whether or not the statement that uses it actually gets
called. It doesn't matter how many times in the code the constant apears, if
those statements aren't actually executed, it isn't actually used.

A good analogy (I think) would be that if my mom packed my lunch for me (she
doesn't) and put a can of V8 juice in it instead of Mt Dew. I wouldn't drink
it just because it's in my lunch box (I hate V8 juice).

PS: I'll try to stop responding to everything now, I know I've been writting
a lot today. I have a bit of time on my hands. :)
