That would be great! That would give us namespaces for constants.

An interesting idea occurred to me while reading this. Would it be
possible to add constant qualified data structures? These constants
would be used and defined just like a variable qualified data structure.
So you would have something like the following.

DayOfWeek     DS                 Qualified Const
 Sunday                                 Const(1)
 Monday                                Const(2)
 Tuesday                               Const(3)
 Wednesday                          Const(4)
 Thursday                              Const(5)
 Friday                                   Const(6)
 Saturday                              Const(7)

 /Free
  Select;
   When  today = DayOfWeek.Sunday;
   When  today = DayOfWeek.Saturday;
  EndSl;
/End-Free


This would help avoid the need to have "long" constant names, at least
in the still fixed format D specs, and provide an easy and consistent
method of specifying context.

Would something like this be a "good" thing? And how hard would it be
to implement, Hans? Barbara?
It follows that the constant name should always indicate that
relationship. What better way is there than the first half of the name
is the name of the constant set, the second half is the name of the
constant within that set? You dont have to use the underscore if you
dont want to.
