Distinguish Constants from Static Variables #107
Description
(see also RFC#0008)
Currently, constants are implemented as final statics. However, it may make sense to actually distinguish this. For example, we could have:
constant int x = 1
static int y = 2
final static int z = 3
Its not clear to me what the value of a final static would be. However, the key difference is that constants would not be inlined, and would not be usable in certain contexts. Observe that this distinction follows Rust.
