- True constants can prevent some kinds of problems.
- The Emacs code already uses true constants, like
`enable-multibyte-characters', and keywords. Was that for
completeness?
enable-multibyte-characters is not a constant. It is a special
builtin weird hack. Keywords are a specific feature.
These were useful in specific ways. Are user-defined constants
useful in specific ways?

Please don't assume you know people's motivations or needs.
No motive was mentioned for adding a primitive to set the flag except
that the flag exists. That's "completeness' sake".
