Objects that the documentation currently calls "constants". (If there's a better term than "constants" we haven't found it yet.) >> They're not the only thing to cover, and attempting to shoehorn this all into >> self-evaluating forms could even be misleading. > > Which section would that go into? "Constants and Mutability" doesn't work. If we change the word "constants" to something else, we would presumably retitle the section and adjust its contents accordingly. Regardless of which word is chosen we should document the issue, which is broader than that of constants from self-evaluating forms.
