Yes, the value can be any literal. 0.5 is fine.
You could also change all the values to spread them if you wanted to stick to
integers.
With the current implementation, the value that is persisted is not guaranteed
to be constant across schema versions. I could change that by persisting the
name of the constant instead of its position in the sorted-by-name constants
list at the cost of a few more bytes (depending on the length of the constant
names) if that matters.
