Part of the reason the constants are included in the ref page is because the skeleton generator includes them in there by default. I would suppose in the olden days, it made a lot of sense to stuff them in the same page, since there weren't very many constants, but now with huge constant lists, this default behavior may not be the smartest. A good example of an extension that moved the constants list off the front page is http <http://php.net/manual/en/ref.http.php>, but the execution is a little clunky. I am fully in favor of moving constants off the ref page, but we first need the proper tools in place to do this. - -- Edward Z.
