Fine with me.
Let me make this remark: in the LyX code I have seen so very many
cases of "type const var = ...", used only once, that I thought it
may be a coding policy for better readability. Well, indeed it
increases the readability.

If I remember well from one of my C++ books, the compiler may remove
the "type const var = " definitions and plug the value into the
place instead of the variable. This certainly will happen for const
variables that are used only once.

So when I see a long expression, that is difficult to comprehend,
I consider ripping it into one or several const defines, to improve
readability. Is that alright, or not?

Cheers,
Rob.
