      I ran across this construct in ada-mode.el:

      (eval-when-compile
	(defconst ada-95-string-keywords
	  '("abstract" "aliased" "protected" "requeue" "tagged" "until")
	  "List of keywords new in Ada 95.
      Used to define `ada-*-keywords'."))

      . . .

   It says "the _result_ of the body", i.e. after compile-time evaluation.

Sorry; replied before thinking.  I think you're right; defconst
shouldn't need eval-when-compile.
