So, for goodness sake stop trying to defend your indefensible assertion that there is no difference between a constant and a write-once variable.

huh? I never said they were the same. Constants are subs that can be inlined that return a read-only variable (or something that pretends to be that), whereas read-only variables are SVs. What are you talking about? How does this even relate?

What about constant parameters and constant variables in C? All three are constructed at run-time.

What utter drivel.

How so? Did something get erased?

There is no such thing as "construction time" for a constant

What? How can you say constants aren't created? Why are you trying to prove they're created at compile-time? How does it matter?

I can't make any sense of your post. I definitely don't see how it shows that "read-only attributes" is a misnomer.
