It would be trivial to create such a method, but the evaluation would not
take place in the context of the owning class, and more importantly, the
returned value would not longer be guaranteed to be a constant. Consider a
constant like

::constant loadTime (.datetime~new)

attached to a class, it would always return the same value. Unattached, it
would return something different each time.
