I'm not sure that the `const float` vs `float` is the
difference per se. The difference is that in the examples
you've given, the `const float` is being determined (and used)
at compile time.
They both have to be determined at compile time... as there is
only a cast involved. The real issue is that the const float
binding is treated textually.
But a `const float` won't _always_ be determined or used at
compile time, depending on the context and manner in which the
value is set.
Which makes the problem worse, not better.
