My memory has already gone on New Year's vacation ... 

Const for variables was on our last enhancement survey (2002).  It got
about 6% of the votes.  Maybe with an example like yours it would have
scored higher ...

#38  $15   Allow keyword CONST for variables.  CONST variables can be
           initialized, but not modified.  On procedure calls, they can
           be passed only as CONST or VALUE parameters.
