Oops sorry I chopped off the bottom. I had an idea for type checking
constants.

type word(integer value)
    return <= #FFFF
end type
constant VALUE = word(12345)

I've decided against this one too because constants are allways static 
but it might help for local variables eg;

integer value value = word(12345)
