Thanks to Hal and Dave for clearing that up.

However, this makes me feel even more like the concept of "constant"
doesn't really mean anything and that numbers aren't first-class objects.

Note that I can't remember ever even attempting to change the contents of
something I'd defined to be constant in C++, java or ruby, so I kind of feel
like I should shut up at this point :-).
