What is secure about that? Nobody can ever change it?

Even in C, a language designed to compile directly to machine language with no 
questions asked, you can still force a constant to change. You get "undefined 
behavior", but you can still do it.

Don't worry about your constants changing. Just write clean code, and pay 
attention to your warnings & test results, and you will be okay.
