Yes, I had always hoped for a "stricter mode" applied to modules. But
I don't think that's something that's still possible at this (or a
later) point. If it had been, then it would have made total sense for
it to check against const assignments as well, along with a number of
other things.

Outside modules, with the language being as it is, adding one minor
new static check definitely does not seem worth the trouble and the
cost risk.
