I can accept that a variable is a container that a symbol points to.
That reminds me of a memory address in C. That also seems to imply
that the variable can change and hence the value associated with a symbol
can change.
What is the container/variable for this construct in C???
#define PI 3.14159
Likewise in Scheme.... (define pi 3.14159)
There really isn't an obvious address in the picture in these cases.

but this PI of yours is not a C-language symbol - it is munched by the
pre-processor, and the compiler just sees the number.
no idea how this is handled in scheme.
