Yes. Doesn't that do what you ask?
On the other hand, `defconst' is specifically
intended to give the message to human readers
that neither humans nor code are expected to
change the value of the variable. It's a
proclamation to human readers that the var is
really a constant.
And if it's really a constant, then why test
it (e.g. with `unless')? Either you should
use `defvar' or you just do XYZ instead of
(unless modust-statck XYZ). No?
