Am I the only person who thinks that constants should be unchangeable?

Being new to Ruby, it seems weird to me that constants aren't actually 
constant. I'm sure there must be some arcane reason for it, but surely 
most people want their constants to remain constant! That's how it works 
in most languages.

Freezing would seem like a good idea but I haven't actually tried it. 
Yet.
