True, but what is wrong with having private constants?
It's a convenience, and produces clearer code. No one has
provided a reason why it is either a good or a bad idea.
No doubt it was just an accident that it turned out that way.
Some people want Euphoria to be a minimalist language.
To achieve that goal, there are a lot of things that need to be taken out.
Other people want Euphoria to be the most usable language
possible. For that to happen, there are a few things which need
to be added.
Frankly, I don't recommend holding your breath while waiting for either of
these things to happen.
