I don't understand this. If it's a constant, why does it need to be
member at all? A member is per-instance storage, which seems to be a
waste for a constant.

Just do

class MyClass {
    method TheConstant { 42 }
}

Then you can use it both on the class:

say MyClass.TheConstant

or on an instance:

say MyClass.new.TheConstant
