Yeah, you could give a name, though I don't see this needs for
constants like (u16)~0. It's a usual way to mark some values
uninitialized.
Just an example from kernel:
/* This is limited by 16 bit "slot" numbers,
* and by available on-disk context storage.

* Also (u16)~0 is special (denotes a "free" extent).
