Hi, There are problems with the internal implementation. For instance, constants do not store the line number on which they were created, and are not actually registered as existing until runtime, so conflict checks would happen at runtime. This would mean your application could work perfectly until a rarely executed branch of code is accessed and boom, fatal error.
