`:final` is used for making only the variable a constant, the value can be
changed. This is well known from Java. Example: >
final myList = [1, 2]
myList = [3, 4] # Error!
myList[0] = 9 # OK
! muList->add(3) # OK
It is common to write constants as ALL_CAPS, but you don't have to.

Using `:call` is still possible, but this is discouraged.
A method call without `eval` is possible, so long as the start is an
