I prefer untyped constants as they can be used as different types
in different places, like #define'd constants in C. If constants
are too strongly typed, it can lead to awkward situations such as
in the Rust code where two constants for the same value were used
in order to avoid a heap of ugly casts:
static StartRangei : u32 = 15;
static StartRangef : f64 = StartRangei as f64;
