I would say that '*Var' is all right.

Yes. Also, 'Var' is meant to denote symbols which are bound
locally/dynamically.

Yes. I haven't seen or used many constants yet (a good case might be
"lib/openGl.l" though), but an all-uppercase notations seems natural to
me.
One thing to remember is of course that there are no real "constants" in
PicoLisp. Anything may be modified at any time.
